CAIRO (AP) -- Archaeologists have discovered the 3,300-year-old tomb of the ancient Egyptian capital's mayor, whose resting place had been lost under the desert sand since 19th century treasure hunters first carted off some of its decorative wall panels, officials announced Sunday.

Ptahmes, the mayor of Memphis, also served as army chief, overseer of the treasury and royal scribe under Seti I and his son and successor, Ramses II, in the 13th century B.C.

Did they need an appoinment to open the tomb?

I wonder if mayor back then were as moronic as they are now:

I wonder if they could possibly be more corrupt than little Richie Daley?
