Archaeologists have discovered 37 ancient coffins in Egypt that are believed to have remained unopened since they were buried around 2,500 years ago, numerous sources reported.
The coffins, also called sarcophagi, were buried near the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, which is located 20 miles south of Cairo and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. A spokesperson for Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said 12 coffins were found earlier in September in a newly discovered well, and were followed by the unearthing of 14 more in another well, the Associated Press reported.
Although the sarcophagi have been underground for millennia, they retained their original colors, and are seen covered in color and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics in footage shared by the ministry, the AP reported.
Additional, smaller artifacts were also discovered in the burial shaft, which stretched 30 feet below ground. Among the artifacts was a figurine typically buried in Egyptian gravesites to aid the deceased in the afterlife, CNN reported.

I suppose 2,500 years precludes finding Jimmy Hoffa. ❓️
30 FEET underground???
I would say YES.
OK, thanks for answering my question! :)
