Mummified Cats and Painted Coffins Found in Luxor Cache

Egyptian officials and archaeologists inspect one of the newly uncovered coffins at Dra Abu El-Naga,

A newly revealed Luxor coffin cache has brought painted coffins, forgotten temple officials, and more than 30 mummified cats back into the light on Egypt’s West Bank. The discovery was made at Dra Abu El-Naga, part of the Theban necropolis, where Egyptian archaeologists have been working in an area buried under old excavation debris for more than 150 years. According to Ahram Online, the finds include ten decorated wooden coffins, the tomb of an unknown priest of Amun, and a Ptolemaic-period deposit of cat mummies. The mix of elite burial, sacred animals, and previously unknown names gives the discovery instant appeal.

The excavation is being carried out by a mission of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, now in its eighth season at the site. Work began in November 2025 in the southeastern sector of the tomb of Roy, known as TT255, a location already rich in New Kingdom history and closely tied to the wider story of ancient Thebes. For archaeologists, the excitement lies not only in the objects themselves, but in the names and titles preserved in their inscriptions. Those details may help rebuild religious life in ancient Luxor.
