Ancient Egyptian Tomb Reveals Vibrant 4,300-Year-Old Daily Life Paintings

Archaeologists in Egypt, alongside German counterparts, have unearthed a 4,300-year-old mastaba in Dahshur's pyramid necropolis, showcasing vibrant ancient Egyptian daily life paintings. 

Located 25 miles south of Cairo, near Memphis's ancient capital, Dahshur is famed for King Sneferu's Bent and Red Pyramids. The discovery adds significant insight into Old Kingdom civilization.

According to inscriptions on a massive limestone false door, the tomb belonged to a man named Seneb-nebef, who served in the administration of the residents of the palace district, as well as his wife, Idut.
