Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered a remarkable ancient tomb belonging to a high-ranking official that's covered in colorful reliefs and well-preserved inscriptions, according to the country’s Ministry of Antiquities.

Discovered last month, the tomb—located in the vast ancient burial ground of Saqqara, south of the capital Cairo—dates back to the Fifth Dynasty, which reigned for around 150 years from the early 25th century B.C. to the mid-24th century B.C., AFP reported.
