The French archaeological mission, headed by Professor Frederic Colin of the University of Strasbourg, has discovered three wooden coffins in El-Assasif Necropolis in al-Qarnah, located on Luxor’s West Bank. The coffins were discovered in the outer courtyard of cemetery No. The third coffin is about 180 cm long with white and brown paintings. The French archaeological mission has been working in Egypt for two seasons, according to Yassin, and it has already succeeded in uncovering sandstone paintings featuring the names of two senior statesmen, Titi Ankh and Anini. The mission also discovered a wooden coffin for a man named Boya dating back to the 18th Dynasty.
