Tomb of ancient Egyptian dignitary who read top secret documents discovered

Hieroglyphs on his tomb claimed he had royal access.

Wow, this is an amazing find. His titles show he was a pretty important guy in the 6th Dynasty. Very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the tomb uncovered.
