A mission of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) has discovered a stone carving for god Amoun's High Priest in the ancient city Luxor, Culture Minister Farouk Hosni said on Sunday.

The carving was on a large quartzite stone with 17 lines of hieroglyphics and it dated back to King Setnekht, founder of the 20th Dynasty and father of Ramses III who ruled Egypt in the 12th century B.C., MENA news agency quoted Hosni as saying.

The discovery is expected to reveal many secrets about the 20th Dynasty, he added, without giving more details.
