Many of the paintings have retained their original colors despite spending more than 40 centuries buried beneath the desert sands, the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It features exceptionally well-preserved scenes,&#8221; the ministry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Dc_u-pMDOEC\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said on social media<\/a>, while posting several
