I’m not sure if I’m getting wooshed or if it’s a grammar thing, but what’s wrong with oldest and most complete?

IFL is known for clickbait titles so I looked up the archaeologist’s Insta and he seems to be using the same verbiage! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5ADD9ttgE/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
He means “complete” as in the tomb has been untouched since it was first closed (which is a rarity). It does seem to be well preserved and at 4,300 years old it would make it one of the oldest tomb discoveries in Egypt, although not the oldest — the pyramid of Djozer is 4,700 years old.
