An ancient Egyptian tomb was concealed by a ‘massive false door,’ shown at left, made of pink granite.

Archaeologists confronted by a false door at an excavation site were stunned to find that it led to the tomb of Egyptian royalty.

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery in a recent Facebook post in April.

The tomb was found at the Saqqara archaeological site in the Giza Governorate of Egypt.
