Czech Egyptologists who have been working on a burial
site in Abusir are reported to have discovered a richly
decorated shaft tomb of the previously unknown dignitary
Djehutiemhat, who served as a royal scribe, the Czech
Institute of Egyptology reported. An anthropological
analysis of the skeletal remains by leading Egyptian
experts revealed, among other things, that Djehutiemhat
died at a relatively young age of about 25 and suffered
from severe osteoporosis. The discovery of the tomb,
which was looted, is important for further understanding
the history of ancient Egypt and its traditions, the
Czech Institute of Egyptology said on its website.
