I’m thinking that this could get good. It does not seem to fit the profile of past Egyptian finds that I know of. Maybe the bones are from grave robbers who were caught, ripped off, and disposed of in the sarcophagus. It will be interesting if the bones are not near as old as the sarcophagus itself.
I like your theory. They don’t look serenely laid out … instead all jumbled up... what would have shook them up in acouple thousand years if they weren’t that way to begin with?
Does make one wonder if they were thieves caught soon after a burial and angry royal relatives decided it would be just if the thieves were interred, perhaps alive and squirming, in the sarcophagus they had robbed.
Fear of thievery was the reason the Egyptians took such pains to bury their royal dead, after all.
