5 Mummies Found Egyptian archaeology discoveries

[kasm 0]

More than 80 years after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun another tomb has been found, just four metres away from Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The discovery was the work of a team of American archaeologists from the University of Memphis.

 

The tomb contains five mummies in intact sarcophagi with coloured funerary masks, along with more than 20 large storage jars sealed with pharaonic seals. Details of the finding are expected to be announced officially by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities today and the identintity of occupiers.

 

While this is good for culture, but I am questiong disturbing our ancestors during their waitting for reseruction.

 

Through a partially opened underground door, Egyptian authorities allowed journalists to give a peek today into the tomb, located at the bottom of a 30-foot shaft. Here is one of the woden mask of one of mummies.
