--------article bullet points quote --------------
* Egyptian archaeologists recently located a lost 3,500-year-old cemetery containing mummies and statues—among other discoveries.
* A particularly exciting find was a Book of the Dead papyrus scroll measuring over 43 feet long—a rare surviving copy of the traditional burial item.
* The team behind the find was mum on the details of the textual discovery
------------------------------------------------------------------

Judging from what appears in the article, it seems to be a burial involving a group of family members (I can't think of any individual who was buried with 25,000 ushabtis and thousands of amulets), including the daughter of the high priest of Thoth.
