The long lost tomb of an Egyptian mayor dating back over 3000 years has been unearthed south of Cairo in Egypt.
Ptahmes was the major of Memphis and would have served as army chief, overseer of the treasury and royal scribe for two successive pharoahs in the 13th century BC.
Archaeologists have discovered the 3,300-year-old tomb of the ancient Egyptian capital's mayor, whose resting place had been lost under the desert sand since the 19th century, officials said.

History is being rewritten continuously there isn't it? I think they'll still be making discoveries in Egypt long after our time.
