Intact tomb found in Egypt's Valley of Kings
First such discovery in the area since King Tut in 1922

CAIRO - An American team has found what appears to be an intact tomb
in the Valley of the Kings, the first found in the valley since that
of Tutankhamun in 1922, one of the archaeologists said on Thursday.

The tomb contains five or six mummies in intact sarcophagi from the
late 18th Dynasty, about the same period as Tutankhamun, but the
archaeologists have not yet had the time or the access to identify
them, the archaeologist added.

The 18th Dynasty ruled Egypt from 1567 BC to 1320 BC, a period during
which the country's power reached a peak.
