Egyptian archaeologists have discovered three ancient tombs of prominent statesman in Luxor.

The tombs date back to the New Kingdom period more than 3,500 years ago. They were found in the Dra Abu al-Naga necropolis in Luxor, according to Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

"The find is an addition to Egypt's archaeological record, made entirely by Egyptian hands," the ministry said on X.

Researchers identified the names of the tombs' owners through inscriptions found inside.
