In Luxor's Dra Abu al-Naga necropolis, Egyptian archaeologues have unearthed three sepulchres from the New Kingdom (1550–1070 B.C.E.), their inscriptions yielding granular biographical data concerning their occupants: notably, Baki, an overseer of the granary, the polymathic "S", superintendent at the Temple of Amun and scribe, and Amum-em-Ipet, a labourer within the Amun estate, whose largely obliterated tomb nonetheless evinced vestiges of funerary accoutrement bearers and a commemorative banquet; coinciding with the Ministry's release of iconographic material depicting unearthed artefacts and statuary, this precursive unveiling presages the imminent inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum – slated for later this summer – a repository for over 100,000 artefacts emblematic of Egypt's profound historical legacy, which Minister Sherif Fathi has lauded as an archaeological and scientific *tour de force* poised to galvanise cultural tourism.
