Osiris tomb discovered in Luxor - Ancient Egypt - Heritage - Ahram Online: A Spanish-Italian archaeological mission has discovered a complete symbolic tomb of the god Osiris with multiple shafts and chambers at Al-Gorna necropolis on Luxor’s west bank.
Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh Eldamaty told Ahram Online that the discovery is important because the newly discovered tomb is a small version of the design of the Osirion found in Abydos in the Upper Egypt city of Sohag.........
I read several reports on this from the EEF. Totally fascinating. In 2000 my wife and I received permission from Dr. Hawass to visit the Tomb of Osiris at Giza. That was a deep shaft with late dynasty burials leading down to a pool filled with water. This new find is symbolically the same but with tiered levels and several shafts.
