The plane crash in Sinai Peninsula is not stopping the rest of Egypt from going back to business. It has recently opened three tombs in Luxor, one of Egypt's ancient cities, to improve tourism in the country.
One of the major tombs that was opened belonged to a Viceroy of Kush named Hun, who worked for King Tutankhamen. Inside Hun's tomb are paintings that display citizens of Nubia who had been dominated by Egypt.
"The tomb also shows Huy receiving the seal of his office, and other unparalleled details regarding the administration of Egypt's most important foreign holdings," according to John Darnell form Yale University, Associated Press reported. "In many ways the tomb of Huy gives us one of the most detailed and colorful glimpses into the interactions of Egyptians and Nubians during the high noon of imperial Egypt."
Another of the tombs was Horemheb's, the final pharaoh during Egypt's 18th Dynasty. Antiquities Minister Mamdouh Eldamaty says the opened tombs were built for nobility during the New Kingdom era in Egypt, more than 3,000 years ago, between 1550 and 1070 B.C, according to the Daily News Egypt.
Eldamaty plans to open other archeological sites for tourists which will potentially attract more visitors in the country and will eventually help their economic status.
The Islamic State group has already admitted to being responsible for the plane crash that carried Russian vacationers from the Red Sea.
"It is very sad what happened, but we have to wait or the result of the investigation," Eldamaty said, according to Mashable. "It was not a terror act, it was an accident."
