Authorities in Egypt revealed a cache of 30 ancient wooden coffins containing mummies.
It is the largest discovery of mummies in over a century and the first to be found by an Egyptian-led mission.
The 3,000-year-old coffins are reportedly exceptionally well-preserved. They contain the mummified remains of middle-class men and women, as well as two children.
They are adorned with intricate carvings and designs depicting deities and spells to allow the soul to navigate the afterlife.
Visitors will be able to view the mummies in the Grand Egyptian Museum at the end of next year.
