March, 2008. Some new tombs were discovered by the Spanish excavation of Madrid national museum in the ancient capital of Ahnasia, south of Egypt. The newly discovered tombs date back to the 1st intermediate period where Ahnasia "modern Bani suwiff" was the capital of the ninth and the tenth dynasties, 2191-2040 B.C. Most of the tombs were built out of mud-brick and limestone. This discovery throws the light on the 1st intermediate period which was a dark age described to be chaotic as Egypt had lost it's unification. Akhbar newspaper.Copyrig ©Musegypt
