Excavators say they've found a previously unknown Egyptian royal tomb in Luxor

The Colossi of Memnon, two sandstone statues of Amenhotep III, are seen in Luxor in 2017. Excavators say they have discovered a new ancient tomb in the Egyptian city.

Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the tomb may date back to the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, which occurred between 1550 B.C. and 1292 BC.
