		</div><p>A private tomb thought to be more than 4,000 years and built for a senior official from the 5th dynasty of pharaohs has been discovered in Egypt.</p>
<p>Antiquities minister Khaled al-Anani announced the find in Saqqara, just west of Cairo, which is also home to the famed Step Pyramid.</p>
<p>Brightly painted relief statues were part of the “exceptionally well-preserved” treasures found in the tomb of a priest called Wahtye who was involved in royal purification during the reign of King Nefer Ir-Ka-Re about 4,400 years ago.</p>
<p>Mr Anani said the tomb contains scores of statues of different sizes and colours.</p>
<p>In recent years, Egypt has heavily promoted new archaeological finds to international media and diplomats in the hope of attracting more visitors to the country.</p>
<p>The vital tourism sector has suffered from the years of political turmoil since the 2011 uprising.</p>
