Dr. Hawass has updated the discoveries. More than 100 tombs found.

" Egyptian archaeologists have unearthed 110 burial tombs at an ancient site in a Nile Delta province.

The graves, some of which have human remains inside, were found at the Koum el-Khulgan archaeological site in Dakahlia province, around 150km northeast of Cairo, the Tourism and Antiquities Ministry said Tuesday.

This is of real interest to me.
They include 68 oval-shaped tombs dating back to the Predynastic Period that spanned from 6000-3150 BC, the ministry said.

There are also 37 rectangular-shaped tombs from an ancient era known as the Second Intermediate Period (1782-1570 BC), when the Semitic people of Hyksos ruled ancient Egypt, the ministry added. "

" Archaeologists also found human remains of adults and children and funerary equipment and pottery objects in these tombs, the ministry said.

The discovery is the latest in a series of archaeological discoveries in recent years for which Egypt has sought publicity in the hopes of reviving its tourism sector. Tourism has been badly hurt by the turmoil following a 2011 uprising and now the coronavirus pandemic. "

thanks, i wonder if the people that had lived there through the centuries,
kept track of who is in the tombs, or even aware of the tombs
