Thanks to everyone who has sent me links to websites covering this story. There's a lot of interest about the "discovery" of burial remains of the pharaoh Senosret II, but few additional details from the original MENA release. This update on the SIS mentions that some tombs dating to the Greek and Roman periods have also been discovered.
Egyptian archeologists have discovered the graveyard and sarcophagus of ancient Pharaoh king Senosert II.
Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Zahi Hawwas has allocated an additional LE50,000 to conduct more excavations at the governorate of Fayoum where the new ancient monuments had been discovered.
The Egyptian archeologists operating in the area further found out skeletons and some tombs dating back to the Greco and Romanian epochs.
