After a ceiling collapse, a large boulder had fallen before anyone could loot the tomb, it crushed and buried the untouched coffin of the woman with all its contents.

Jewels

The jewelry found included a gold-plated necklace, a golden pendant, two silver ankle bracelets, and two golden wrist bracelets.



Pathology[]
