ARCHAEOLOGY: Priest tomb

Into the world of ancient Egypt....where the children of Israel lived for several centuries.....And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: Genesis 46:3

"Egyptian archaeologists have discovered the tomb of a priest
dating back more than 4,400 years in the pyramid complex of Saqqara south of the capital Cairo.
The tomb belongs to "Wahtye", a high priest who served during the fifth dynasty reign of King Neferirkare, the antiquities ministry said.
His tomb is decorated with scenes showing the royal priest alongside his mother, wife and other members of his family, the ministry said in a statement.
It also contains more than a dozen niches and 24 colorful statues of the cleric and members of his family, it said."
