A 3,300 year old tomb that would have had a 7m tall pyramid at its entrance has been discovered by archaeologists in Egypt.

The tomb, found at the ancient city of Abydos, was excavated by a team led by Kevin Cahail of the University of Pennsylvania.

The elaborate tomb encased a number of underground burial chambers, with one containing a red-painted sandstone sarcophagus for a scribe named Horemheb, and another with Shabti figurines for a man named Ramesu. The archaeologists also recovered the disarticulated skeletons of three or four men, 10 to 12 women, and two or more children, although the researchers are unsure whether these people were buried together or the tomb reused.

The tomb had been ransacked at least twice in antiquity, but the researchers did find a broken heart amulet carved from red and green jasper, which Cahail described to Livescience as:

“It’s a beautiful object and possibly one of the best carved examples of these very rare type of amulets…It was probably on the chest of one of the deceased individuals and there probably would have been some sort of necklaces and gold and things like that.”
