The archaeological committee at the port examined the seized collection and confirmed they are ancient Egyptian, Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said in a statement on Wednesday.
The artefacts include bronze and wooden statues, a funerary cone inscribed with hieroglyphics, remains of cartonnage funerary masks, and amulets made of faience and gilded wood.
Authorities are investigating to determine who was behind the smuggling attempt.
