The mausoleums have several corridors, rooms and halls, and pictures on their walls. In the inside there have been found bones, ceramic pots and mummies of falcons that are in good condition, according to the note. Also there are rooms still full of building materials and land and a well depth of seven meters.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zawi Hawass said the tomb was used in more than one occasion and was pillaged in the fifth century a.C. Hawass was pleased with the new findings, because these would be evidence that the region still “holds many secrets.”
