Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, explained that these openings are located in the Holy Valley area, south of the royal cemetery in Umm al-Qa’ab. After careful examination, it was found that these entrances lead to rooms cut into the rock. Another group consists of five rooms connected together through narrow holes cut across the rock walls separating them. Mohamed Abdel-Badi, head of the Central Department of Antiquities of Upper Egypt and head of the mission, said that these rooms are not decorated. The mission also found a room with “graffiti” inscriptions for a name that reads “Khou-so-n-Hour”, his mother “Amon Eardes” and his grandmother “Nes-Hour”.
