Archaeologist have uncovered two tombs that date back more than 2,500 years in the part of Cairo where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood, according to Eg yptian antiquity au thorities.

Although there is a modern suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo sou theast of its ancient namesake, the original Heliopolis was known as a center of learning and academic study in ancient Mediterranean times.

The owner of the land was seeking construction rights and by law, construction cannot begin withou t a permit certifying that the site has no historical significance.

The first of the two limestone tombs to be opened contained a sarcophagus and sixteen statuettes, said the chief state archaeologist for the Cairo-Giza area, Zahi Hawass.

Hawass said in a statement that the tombs were found in a d owntown residential area, three meters below the ground. [SOUND BITE]
