The Anfushi tombs

The Anfushi tombs
These limestone tombs, which date from about 250 BC, are painted to simulate alabaster and marble.
They are decorated with pictures of Egyptian gods and daily life, along with graffiti, which also dates from the same period. They were discovered in 1901 and 1921.
