Ancient Civilizations3,600-Year-Old Royal Tomb of Mysterious Abydos Dynasty Found in Egypt Posted on March 19, 2025 by Administrator A collaborative archaeological effort between Egyptian experts and a team from the University of Pennsylvania has led to a groundbreaking discovery in the Gebel Anubis necropolis at Abydos, located in the Sohag Governorate of southern Egypt. The excavation has unearthed a royal tomb dating back to the Second Intermediate Period, a time of political fragmentation in ancient Egypt. This significant find offers fresh insights into the so-called “Abydos Dynasty,” a largely mysterious ruling faction that governed Upper Egypt between 1700 and 1600 BC, separately from the traditional pharaonic line.
