Archaeologists from the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) recently announced the discovery of this ancient tomb belonging to a high-ranking military commander from the reign of Ramses III (1186 to 1155 B.C.E.).
The tomb was discovered at Tell Roud Iskander in the Ismailia Governorate of Egypt. During the New Kingdom period (1550 to 1070 B.C.E.), just after Ramses III’s reign, this area was filled with important fortifications that protected ancient Egypt’s eastern borders.
This newly-unearthed tomb has shed light on the military history of the region and provided archaeologists with a rare firsthand look into the life and death of an ancient Egyptian military commander.
The tomb, built entirely of mudbrick and white mortar, features a main burial chamber with three adjoining rooms, all filled with artifacts. Nearby, archaeologists discovered more recent tombs dating back to the Greco-Roman period — pointing to the area’s continuous use and importance throughout antiquity.
