A Swedish-Egyptian team working at the Gebel el Silsila site uncovered four child burials dating back to the Thutmosid period more than 3,000 years ago. The discoveries, which were announced recently, were made earlier this year.
In a Facebook post, Dr. Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypts Supreme Council of Antiquities explained that the remains of a child aged between two and three years old was found in a rock-hewn grave at the site. The mummy, he explained, still retains its linen wrapping and is surrounded by some organic material from the remains of a wooden coffin.

Three thousand years ago, King Tutty reigned you know
He must have travelled greatly in his time
For in his tomb out there, was gold and silverware
From big hotels of every land and clime
While going through his royal robes they found up in his sleeve
The first fig leaf that Adam gave to Eve
In old King Tut-Tut-Tutankhamen’s day
The dancers, then in style, would even make the old Sphinx smile
In old King Tut-Tut-Tutankhamen’s day
On the desert sand, old King Tutty’s band, played while maidens swayed
They danced for old King Tut ‘neath moonlit skies so warm
They wore such happy smiles and were in perfect form
They danced for him both fat and thin
He didn’t give a darn what shape they’re in
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty’s Day!
Who cares what the current savages are doing?
Thanks beaversmom.
News of Egypt is becoming less and less relevant as time goes by.
Who cares what the current savages are doing?
I love learning about the past and when these savages were building great temples and cities my relatives were living in caves.
So, you think human history, anthropology and archaeology are worthless?
Or the remains of the Holy Innocents?
King Tut
King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.
(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(Funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut).
(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
They'd line up just to see you,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (King Tut)
Buried with a donkey (Funky Tut)
He's my favorite honky!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut)
Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (Waltzing Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (Rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.
He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.
Now, when I die,
Don't think I'm a nut,
Don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)
He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, lived in a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut
