Prehistoric Burials Ancient Tombs Found in Egypt's Nile Delta
During excavation work carried out by an Egyptian mission in Kom El-Khelgan area in the Nile
Delta, a collection of tombs and burials have been unearthed.
Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said that the tombs date
back to the Second Intermediate Period.
The Second Intermediate Period marks a period when Ancient Egypt fell into disarray for a second
time, between the end of the Middle Kingdom and the start of the New Kingdom.
It is best known as the period when the Hyksos people of West Asia made their appearance in Egypt
and whose reign comprised the 15th dynasty founded by Salitis.
