Egypt Announces Discovery Of 4,400 Year Old Tomb

Egyptian officials are announcing the discovery of a private tomb from the fifth dynasty of the pharaohs.  The tomb appears to have been for a senior official and is located in Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid.  The antiquities minister said the drawings inside are well preserved considering they are about 4,400 years old.  The tomb also has 45 statues carved into the rock.  Egypt's tourism industry has struggled in recent years following a 2011 uprising.
