Archaeologists report the discovery of a tomb dating to roughly 3,000 years ago near Luxor, in Egypt’s West Bank. The burial site is identified as belonging to a man named Paser. According to reports, archaeologists determine the tomb’s owner through inscriptions found at the site, which provide the name Paser. NDTV adds that the find is associated with the Ramesside period, placing it within the broader timeframe of Egypt’s New Kingdom. The tomb is reported to have been uncovered in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis, a major burial area on the West Bank. CBS also describes the burial as being identified as belonging to Paser based on inscriptions, aligning with NDTV’s account of how the identification is made. Both outlets present the discovery as a significant addition to ongoing archaeological work in the Luxor area, with the dating and identification centered on the burial context and the textual evidence from the tomb itself.
