Archaeologists have discovered an intact, ancient Egyptian tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the first since King Tutankhamun's was found in the same area in 1922.
A team led by the University of Memphis found the previously unknown tomb complete with unopened sarcophagi and five intact mummies.
Four metres below the ground was a single chamber containing sarcophagi with coloured funerary masks and more than 20 large storage jars bearing Pharaonic seals. The archaeologists have not yet been able to identify them.
The sarcophagi were buried rapidly in the small tomb for an unknown reason.
The Valley of the Kings near Luxor in southern Egypt was used for burials for around 500 years from 1540 B.C. onwards.
The tomb, the 63rd discovered since the valley was first mapped in the 18th century, was unexpectedly found only five metres away from King Tutankhamun's.
