A newly uncovered ancient Egyptian tomb is shedding light on royalty that once ruled the region over 3,600 years ago .

Archaeologists discovered the massive limestone burial chamber, which has multiple rooms and a decorated entryway, in January .

The researchers believe it is likely the resting place of a king who ruled upper Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period between 1640 and 1540 BC .

Abydos Dynasty kings such as Seneb-Kay are unique because they do not appear on the king lists that were once kept by the ancient Egyptians .

As of now, the king to whom the burial chamber belonged remains a mystery.

Researchers will scope out the area using ground penetrating radar and magnetometry.
