A team of archeologists recently found 13 Egyptian coffins that have been sealed for over 2,500 years.
Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities recently shared some news on their Facebook page, explaining that archaeologists uncovered an unexpected cache -- or more specifically, a well -- of more than 13 sealed wooden coffins that are believed to be as old as 2,500 years in the Saqqara Necropolis in Egypt.
They report that, according to preliminary studies, these coffins are sealed off and haven't been opened since their initial burial a couple of millennia ago. It is important to mention that this is a rare occurrence because it is often the case that burials are looted by the time they are found thousands of years later.
This is good news because ancient Egyptian coffins are often looted and disturbed, hindering scientific progress.
It is also believed that these 13 wooden coffins are most likely only some of many more to be found inside the sides of the walls of the cache. The expedition found three sealed-up niches where they are expecting to find additional coffins.
The burial location is south of Cairo, on the outskirts of the metropolis, and is believed to be a part of the necropolis for Memphis, the capital city of ancient Egypt. The coffins were found 11 meters, or 36 feet, underground.
At the moment, the identities and the trades of these particular inhabitants of the coffins, and the overall numbers, are not yet clear, but excavations and studies will continue in hopes of answering these questions.

Ash: Look, maybe I didn’t say every single little tiny syllable, no. But basically I said them, yeah.”
you left out Jimmy Hoffa! :-)
Whatta you bet, covid was what killed them...
One of our fellow FReepers (who shall remain nameless, and not just because I can't remember her name) not only climbed The Great Pyramid, she slept up there, and in the morning was filmed by the In Search Of crew.
Eitehr COVID, colonialism, or white privilege.
Hahaha...that’s great. Sleeping up there, too...:)
Yes, but not just for him:
Me like woman.
My pleasure.
Excellent!
i know what this is!
the guy on the right is sleepy joe in his basement, just taking a short rest from the campaign trail. on the left is an ancient egyptian democrat voter mummy.
or, is it the other way around?
anyway, sleepy joe and his mummy.
actually, someone could write a catchy “wrap” song about this...
however, no one ever listens to an old giza like me...
and one more thing, i think it is inherently sexist to call ancient egyptian pictographic characters “her-o-glyphs”— that is very unfair to men! how about decline-to-state-o-glyphs? or non-binary-o-glyphs? sheesh!
if the mummy is a coffin, then the covid19 danger might lurk there... often!
i have a mummy. i would collect mummies, but then someone would accuse me of trying to start a pyramid scheme with them all. ok, give me a lighta for my cigar-a. and ouch, i forgot to mention that my ankh-le is hurting again...
and make that cigar-a a saqqara!
i ain’t scarab of no mummy!
Heh, see #39.
