The great tomb of an unknown Egyptian who lived about 2800 B.C. has been discovered and entered by the expedition from the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, working at Meydum, fifty miles south of Cairo. A report just received from the director, Alan Rowe, states that the tomb is one of the largest ever found in Egypt, and it is believed that some of the burial chambers have never been plundered.
