In their latest expedition, a team of 20 Egyptian archeologists has found 20 sealed ancient coffins. The wooden coffins were discovered near Luxor, Egypt.

The Antiquities Ministry of Egypt mentioned that the coffins were discovered at the Theban Necropolis of Asasif, situated on the Nile’s western bank. The ministry said it was one of the most important and largest discoveries in recent times.
