Archaeologists unearth Ancient Egyptian relics in Luxor, Aswan

Archaeologists unearth Ancient Egyptian relics in Luxor, Aswan: A team of European and Egyptian archaeologists discovered a 33,000-year-old alabaster statue of King Tutankhamun’s grandmother, Queen Tiye, in Luxor, according to The Sunday Times. The archaeologists reportedly found the statue “by chance” while lifting a colossus of the Boy King’s father, King Amenhotep III. In Aswan, meanwhile, a separate group of archaeologists from the University of Jaén unearthed a tomb believed to belong to the brother of a 12th dynasty monarch, RT reports. Ancient Egypt is also in the spotlight across the pond, where The New York Times takes a deep dive into an exhibit of mummies from Egypt and pre-Colombian Peru at the American Museum of Natural History. The production opened last week and runs through January 7, 2018.
