（图集）埃及塞加拉发现保存完好的古墓

皇家祭司

这座位于塞加拉（Saqqara）的古墓距今已有4400年，是为一名叫“Wahtye”的皇家祭司而建。墓室共两层，内有绘画、象形文字和55座塑像。在下面一层的下方，考古人员发现了5个墓井。这些墓井可能通向Wahtye的石馆和木乃伊。

幸福的一对？

这幅墓室壁画似乎描绘的是墓主人Wahtye和他的妻子Nin Winit Ptah。他们生活在4400多年以前。Wahtye侍奉的法老名叫Neferirkare（约公元前2446年-2438年在位）。

Exquisitely Preserved Ancient Tomb Discovered at Saqqara

Divine inspector

This 4,400-year-old tomb at Saqqara was constructed for a "divine inspector" named "Wahtye." The tomb has two levels containing paintings, hieroglyphs and 55 statues. Archaeologists found five shafts beneath the lower level of the tomb that will be excavated soon. The shafts may lead to the sarcophagus and mummy of Wahtye.

Happy couple?

This painting found in the tomb also appears to show Wahtye and his wife Nin Winit Ptah. They lived more than 4,400 years ago, with Wahtye serving a pharaoh named Neferirkare (reign ca. 2446–2438 B.C.).

These statues appear to show Wahtye and his wife whose name is "Nin Winit Ptah."

Tomb statues

The tomb contains 55 statues, which appear to show humans and deities. The color in the tomb is remarkably well preserved despite the passage of 4,400 years of time.

Ancient Egyptian activities

More paintings found in the tomb at Saqqara. They show Egyptians engaging in a variety of activities, including construction work, cooking and drinking.

Hieroglyphs

Hieroglyphs were found just outside the tomb entrance at Saqqara. They give the name of the tomb occupant, Wahtye.
