Zahi Hawass (aka Egypt’s Indiana Jones) has uncovered an ancient industrial area complete with 30 workshops in Luxor’s Valley of the Monkeys, according to an Antiquities Ministry statement. A tomb was also discovered in the Valley of the Kings containing the tools used in making tombs. Hawass and his team have been working on the excavations since 2017, and are still hoping to find the elusive tombs of Queen Nefertiti and Queen Ankh Amon.
