The announcement marks the latest in a string of discoveries at Saqqara, which was designated a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1979.
Dating back to Egypt's First Dynasty, from around 3150 BC, the vast burial ground once served the royal capital of Memphis, and the site is also home to the country's oldest surviving pyramid.
In October, researchers discovered a large cache of unopened sarcophagi at the site. A month earlier, they announced they had discovered 13 coffins piled on top of each other in a well. And back in April, they found another batch of mummies, again discovered in a shaft.
With global travel hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and tourism forming an integral part of its economy, Egypt has been eager to attract visitors back to its archaeological sites.

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb on Netflix shows the early excavation. It's pretty incredible.

Not a chance in hell I am watching that. I still refuse to watch any of the King Tut stuff. You just don't go dicking with mummies!

So what are the odds that the Egyptian government planted these here and paid off the archeologists to drum up tourism

Another reason I will be cremated... thousands of years go by and no one gives a frick about your grave.
Hell, way way less then that in a lot of cases.
