AN ancient Egyptian tomb filled with decorative statues and carvings has been unearthed after 4,400 years.
The “one of a kind” discovery was made in the Saqquara pyramid complex near Cairo – and is the final resting place of a high priest.

It’s filled with colourful hieroglyphs and statues of pharaohs, with one image depicting the owner, a royal priest named Wahtye, with his mother and wife.
Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani announced the find at the site, which is also home to the famed Step Pyramid.
He said drawings on the tomb’s walls were “exceptionally well-preserved”.
The chamber also contained a total of 45 statues carved in rock.

Archaeologists will start excavating the tomb tomorrow, with more discoveries expected, including the owner’s sarcophagus.
In recent years, Egypt has heavily promoted new archaeological finds to international media and diplomats in the hope of attracting more tourists to the country.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
