The British newspaper "Daily Express", quoted by Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Chris Nonton, said that about 100 tombs of senior Egyptian officials have not been discovered so far, and that an entire Egyptian ruling family is still missing.
The civilization of ancient Egypt dates back to 3000 BC, and includes a series of stable kingdoms, including the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom.
The best of what is known by the first of these kingdoms is the "era of the pyramids" because during which the great pyramids of Giza were built, but Egypt reached its climax during the modern kingdom, as it was ruling most of Nubia in addition to a large part of the Near East region, after that it entered a stage From slow slope. Dr. Nunton believes that there is still a lot of mystery that needs to be revealed, including the absence of graves for all members of the twenty-sixth family and the bodies of many powerful personalities throughout the period of this family’s rule.
"Of the established kings, they are so well known to us that we are saying that they were the pharaohs of Egypt, there are about 200 of them who appeared over a period of 3000 years, and almost half of them have known graves," Dr. Nunton told the Historic Hut site run by historian Dan Snow. As for the rest (i.e. about 100 graves), the majority of these kings do not have a well-known acceptance in the historical record.
"This may be due to the fact that they ruled in a period when Egypt was not divided and did not have much wealth, and therefore their graves are not distinguished and do not have large buildings. Therefore, the possibility of finding such graves will be weak. In some cases there are ruling families The whole is unknown in the historical record. "
Dr. Nunton published his book, "Searching for the lost tombs in Egypt" in October 2018 in an attempt to make one step toward resolving some of these riddles that he believes are solvable.
