Miles and miles of near endless discovery, 20 tombs dated back to the Second Intermediate Period in Kom Al-Khelgan, Ptolemaic period temple, a Roman fort, an early Coptic church and an inscription written in hieratic script at an archaeological site called Shiha Fort, discovery of an extremely rare gilded burial mask that probably dates from the Saite-Persian period in a partly damaged wooden coffin in Saqqara, 50 wooden sarcophagi in 52 burial shafts which date back to the New Kingdom period and a 13 ft-long papyrus that contains texts from the Book of the Dead, Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of the shrine of god Osiris- Ptah Neb, dating back to the 25th dynasty in the Temple of Karnak in Luxor. According to archaeologist Essam Nagy, the material remains from the area contained clay pots, the lower part of a sitting statue and part of a stone panel showing an offering table filled with a sheep and a goose which were the symbols of the god Amun, unique cemetery dating back to the 26th Dynasty (so-called the El-Sawi era) at the site of ancient Oxyrhynchus then 100 delicately painted wooden coffins and 40 funeral statues. The sealed, wooden coffins, some containing mummies, date as far back as 2,500 years and discovery of a 2.000-year-old 30-ton black granite sarcophagus in Alexandri...and that's only discovery in the past few months or 2 years?

Fantastic discoveries even if they aren't recent. Those sands can cover up so much history and it takes diligence to go and actually try to find it.

Those stories were dated in the past 3 weeks.
Obviously, these items were not uncovered in only the last few days, nor the excavations, nor the mapping of potential sites, nor the planning and funding.

This has all taken years if not decades, but now it has finally been deemed acceptable to allow us, the unwashed masses to be informed about these great discoveries.
More millenium from before Christ than hence, these sites have been not only removed from historical existence - but also, in a way, preserved from looters and such.

The only worst part is the current Egyptians, who work secretly to rewrite their history, and prevent real history from being revealed to the world.

I had not heard of these advancements elsewhere, so wanted to share.
