The archaeological mission working in the archaeological site of al-Khalwa area, Fayoum, has uncovered a burial well, located to the east of the Prince Waji's tomb... Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri said that al-Khalwa, located at southern Fayoum, contains a cemetery dating back to the Middle Kingdom era, namely Amenemhat III era (1842-1799 BC). He added that the cemetery has the tomb of Prince Waji, the ruler of Fayoum in the Middle Kingdom, as well as the tomb of his mother "Nabat Mout", which lies to the east of it. Meanwhile, Head of the archaeological mission Ayman Ashmawy referred that the well contains three burial chambers, in which the mission found the upper part of a statue (40 cm height) made from sandstone of a person holding his hand on his chest along with the middle part of a basalt statue (30 cm height)... In this regard, Hani Abul Azm, the head of the Central Administration for Antiquities of upper Egypt, remarked that Waji's tomb was carved in rock and was discovered by the Italian mission of the University of Pisa in 1981 through the archaeological survey project in the area. He added that the mission found inside the tomb a limestone statue, on which the name of the prince was written, a part of a wooden coffin and a pottery vessel. He explained that the statue is currently kept inside the museum store of Kom Oshim, Fayoum. "The ceiling of the tomb was completely collapsed, maybe due to a massive earthquake in the ancient history or the weight of the roof stones," said Sayed Al Shoura, General Director of Antiquities Sector. He said that Italian mission has built a new ceiling to protect the tomb's inscriptions under the supervision of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

No one's got a gun to your head to read it, or to comment on it, so STFU.
Sorry I stand corrected. Not pharaoh`s daughter.- “Arabic oral tradition’ has been credited many times to name-place sites discoveries mentioned in the Bible, as well as making sense of obscure and missing info as unfinished data in the OT Bible to make the sections make any sense. I have had many discussions with Arabic scholars concerning some of the characters and places in the OT.
Their explanations tend to make sense where no sense of context appears in the OT.
For example
Gen
8 “And Cush was the father of Nimrod,
who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth 9
“He was a mighty hunter before the LORD;
so it is said, Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.
Nimrod is a mighty warrior and a mighty hunter-
This context doesn`t make any sense.
A warrior kills men
\ A Hunter kills animals.
The stream of description doesn`t make any sense unless one discusses it with an Arabic scholar. Then it makes perfect sense. Can you figure it out here?
Question A. Why is “mighty warrior” related to earth
and “mighty hunter” related to God?
The Arabs have known the answer to that question for thousands of years. What is your answer to the question A.?
re; “No one’s got a gun to your head to read it, or to comment on it, so STFU.”
does not give explanation as to why this particular well was such a big thing!!
Just say, I dunno, if you have no explanation, instead of the worse, ‘shut up’. At least, admitting to not knowing, is better than demonstrating you don’t understand the subject.
Just like telling the teacher in math class when explaining a formula, “that’s dumb!”
