The 4,400-year-old tomb lies in the Mariette Necropolis and dates to the reign of King Djedkare Isesi. It contains two funerary chapels which belong to a father and son.

Ancient tomb of judge Yunmen, dating back 4,300 years to Pharaoh Djedkare Isesi, discovered at Saqqara with colourful reliefs and dual funerary chapels.

Many of the paintings in the tomb have retained their original colors despite spending more than 40 centuries buried beneath the desert sands, officials said.
