Spanish team in Egypt finds 3,600-year-old mummy
Egypt's Antiquities Minister says Spanish archeologists have unearthed a 3,600-year-old mummy in the ancient city of Luxor.             

Mohammed Ibrahim said in a Thursday statement that the rare find in a preserved wooden sarcophagus dates back to 1600 BC, when the Pharaonic 17th Dynasty reigned.         

He said the mummy appears to belong to a high official. The sarcophagus is engraved with hieroglyphs and decorated with inscriptions of birds' feathers.            

The exact identity of the well-preserved mummy will now be studied, Ibrahim said, adding that it was discovered by a Spanish mission in collaboration with the Egyptian antiquities ministry.              

Antiquities department head Ali Al-Asfar said the two-meter sarcophagus still bears its original coloring and writings.
