Queried by the BBC on Sunday, December 10 2017, archaeologists also found a mummy in the ancient tomb. The mummy is believed to be a senior official of the new Egyptian kingdom.

Graves are found in the burial area of DraaAbul Naga. An area famous for temples and burial places. Here also close to the valley of the kings. Many Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs were buried there.

Until now the process of identification of the mummy figure is still done. There are two possibilities described by the Egyptian ministry of antiquities. First it could be that mummy named DjehutyMes. It was seen from the name carving on the wall.

It could also be a mummy named Maati whose name is written in a funeral cone.
