CAIRO, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian archeologists(考古学家) said Sunday that they have discovered a 3,300-year-old tomb（坟墓） that belongs to a high-profile army commander in south Cairo.
The tomb dating back to Egypt's 19th Dynasty (about 1,320 B.C. - 1,200 B.C.) was unearthed 1 during excavation（发掘，挖掘） work by a Cairo University archeological team in the cemetery 2 of dignitaries in Saqqara necropolis, south Cairo, a statement by Egypt's Supreme 3 Council of Antiquities 4 (SCA) said.
SCA chief Zahi Hawwas said the team has discovered a number of patios 5 （天台,露井）and chambers 6 attached to the 70-meter-long cemetery which extends from east to west.
Ola el-Egaizi, head of the team, told Xinhua that the team has also found a number of murals(壁画), including one that features tomb owner Ptahmes praying to the Trinity of Thebes (God Amun, his wife Goddess Mut and their son God Khonsu.)The mission is still carrying out excavations 8 in the area to discover the tomb's main well which, she said, might lead the team to the burial chamber 7 of the army commander and his spouse 9 where their caskets could be found.
Ahmed Said, deputy head of the team, said the archeological team has also discovered several parts of statues belonging to Ptahmes and his spouse. The discovered artifacts also included pottery 10, amulets 11, statues of goddesses made of semi-precious stones and an offering table.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
