Mohammed Ibrahim says Friday the tomb dates back to the
Ramesside period and belongs to the chief "maker of beer
for gods of the dead" who was also the head of a warehouse.
He added that the walls of the tomb's chambers contain
"fabulous designs and colors, reflecting details of daily life ...
along with their religious rituals."
