The tomb — colored with scenes depicting the owner with his family and found on the Nile River's West Bank — belonged to Thaw-Irkhet-If, the overseer of the mummification shrine at the ancient Egyptian Mut temple, also in Luxor, according to the ministry. “Inside the tomb are colored scenes," Khaled el-Anani said during a press conference Saturday to announce the discovery.
