It’s a deep dive into ancient Egypt. 

Archaeologists discovered hieroglyphic-inscribed rock carvings of several significant pharaohs — including an ancestor of King Tutankhamun — at the bottom of the Nile River.

The find provides “new historical information” on their legendary rules over several eras, according to Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. 



Illustrations included that of the king of Amenhotep III, the grandfather of King Tut who ruled from 1390 to 1353 B.C.E., according to Smithsonian Magazine.

ASWAN, EGYPT—Live Science reports that a team of French and Egyptian archaeologists diving in an area flooded by the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River discovered well-preserved rock carvings depicting several ancient Egyptian pharaohs as well as hieroglyphic inscriptions. The researchers are recording the etchings with photography, video, and photogrammetry in order to create digital 3-D models of the works. The images include pictures of Amenhotep III (reigned ca. 1390–1352 B.C.), Thutmose IV (reigned ca. 1400–1390 B.C.), Psamtik II (reigned ca. 595–589 B.C.), and Apries (reigned ca. 589–570 B.C.). The researchers expect to discover additional carvings as the project continues. In antiquity, Aswan was home to granite quarries, a temple adorned with four colossal statues of Ramesses II called Abu Simbel; and the Philae temple complex where the last Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription was written in A.D. 394. To read about the Egyptian temples of Philae in Nubia, go to "When Isis Was Queen."

Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city located in the Teotihuacan Valley of Mexico, is renowned for its impressive pyramids and unique urban layout.
