考古学家在埃及卢克索附近底比斯墓地进行防洪工程期间，发现了一座保存完好的古埃及墓葬。1 该墓主人为官员帕塞尔，距今约3000年，年代为拉美西德时期（约公元前1292-1069年）。1 墓地位于下谢赫·阿卜杜勒·库尔纳地区，由莱顿大学近东研究所及埃及旅游和文物部组织的国际研究团队自2018年开始在该地进行田野调查。1
墓内壁画生动记录了古埃及生活场景，描绘了帕塞尔及其妻子、宗教场景以及食物和花卉祭品。1 壁画表面覆盖污垢层，需要保护专家进行清理后才能获得更多信息。1 这一发现为了解古埃及日常生活和社会等级制度提供了重要证据。
这项发现的紧迫性不容忽视。底比斯墓地面积约10平方公里，是埃及主要的皇家和精英墓地。1 气候变化导致的洪水频率和强度预计在未来几年显著增加，这些脆弱的古代遗迹面临日益增长的水患威胁。1
An international research team has uncovered a remarkably well-preserved tomb dating back approximately 3,000 years in the Theban necropolis near Luxor, Egypt. 1 The burial chamber belonged to Paser, an official from the Ramesside period, roughly 1292–1069 BCE. 1 Located in the Lower Sheikh ʿAbd el-Qurna region of the necropolis, the discovery was made during flood mitigation work in an area that has served as a major royal and elite burial ground since around 1550 BCE. 1
The tomb's walls are adorned with vivid paintings depicting Paser and his wife alongside religious scenes and offerings of food and flowers, providing valuable insights into ancient Egyptian daily life and social hierarchy. 1 However, the murals are currently covered with layers of dirt and will require specialized conservation expertise before archaeologists can fully document and study them. 1 The international team, affiliated with Leiden University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient Near East and Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, has been conducting fieldwork at the site since 2018. 1
The discovery underscores the growing urgency surrounding archaeological preservation in the region, as climate change is expected to significantly increase the frequency and intensity of flooding in the coming years, threatening these fragile artifacts. 1 The necropolis encompasses approximately 10 square kilometers and remains one of Egypt's most significant repositories of ancient heritage. 1
