Currently sixty-three tombs have been discovered with only fifteen open to visitors at any one time. The search continues for more tombs and will not stop until all have been unearthed. Egyptologists know there are another four or five out there, they just don’t know where so the search goes on. A tomb was discovered earlier this year and the country eagerly awaits confirmation that it does in fact belong to a king or possibly queen, however like the others it had been robbed and no treasures remained.
With only a few left to be found let’s all hope another Tutankhamen style discovery is made, and on an even grander scale, to give us a greater insight into the past and further boast Egypt’s vital tourism industry.
