CAIRO (AP) — An antiquities official says a trove of artifacts from Egypt’s last dynasty has been found in 63 tombs in the Nile Delta area, and experts are working to restore and classify the finds. The artifacts include gold pieces and jewelry dating to Egypt’s Late and Ptolemaic periods. The Ptolemaic dynasty was Egypt’s last before it became part of the Roman Empire. An Egyptian archaeological mission with the Supreme Council of Antiquities discovered the mud-brick tombs at the Tell al-Deir necropolis in Damietta city in Damietta governorate. Some items could later be displayed at one of Egypt’s museums.
