Roman Era Vibrant Funeral Tomb Uncovered in Egypt

Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered two ancient tombs dating back to the Roman period in the country's Western Desert.

The team discovered structures of two different architectural styles at the Beir Al-Shaghala site in the Dakhla Oasis, though both were built from mud-brick.

Inside the colorfully-painted tombs, they also found several human skeletons, clay lamps, and a number of pottery vessels.

Each of the tombs is decorated in vibrant funeral paintings, though much of the artwork has been lost to time.
