Egypt has been publicising finds like this this year:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/14/nearly-100-coffins-buried-over-2500-years-ago-found-in-egypt
I wonder if they're going to add much to our understanding of history, as they're probably burials of much less significant individuals than in royal tombs.
The one I'm still on tenterhooks about is whether they're really going to find that Tutankhamun's tomb is actually the antechambers of Nefertiti's (because he had to be buried in haste). It's only a conspiracy theory at the moment, but that would be one of the most significant finds for decades.
