The huge tomb, discovered by the Dutch mission from Leiden Museum, dates back to the era of King Akhtenaton, the 19th dynasty of ancient Egypt. The Dutch experts found the burial chamber, but without the mummy. According to their report, the tomb contained utensils, on which the names of the four sons of god Horus are engraved.

The Dutch mission also discovered a rare stone slab bearing the image of a woman holding a bunch of flowers, which follows the design of ancient Egyptian art known in Menya at the time. The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has prepared to refer the new discovery to the Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni to endorse the finances needed for further digging operations around that area.
