Iufaa Tomb, Abusir, Egypt, 1998

"The serene face of Iufaa, an Egyptian priest, greets the mortal world for the first time in 2,500 years. Deep below the desert sands, archaeologists from the Czech Republic's Charles University uncovered the rarest of finds, an unlooted tomb with hundreds of artifacts."

—From "Abusir Tomb," November 1998, National Geographic magazine
