Egypt says it has discovered a number of ancient burial chambers containing some 40 mummies in the desert province of Minya, south of Cairo.

Officials told reporters on Saturday at the site that the chambers, which were cut out of rock, belonged to a middle-class family who probably lived during the Ptolemaic, early Roman or Byzantine period.egypt-archaeology_83e851a2-26e8-11e9-a07d-d8ccc3ad85d5.jpgegypt-antiquities_a9dcd28e-26e8-11e9-a07d-d8ccc3ad85d5.jpg
