Dig uncovers ancient tombs

05jun02

CAIRO: Seven tombs believed to belong to dignitaries of the pharaonic dynasties that ruled Egypt more than 3000 years ago have been been found south of Cairo.

The discoveries were made during the excavation season that began last November in the Saqqarah cemetery complex, 20km south of the capital, said Zahi Hawass, the chairman of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Statues of the Egyptian god of the dead, the jackal-headed Anubis, as well as pottery remains were found in the tombs that belonged to scribes and priests of the 19th and 20th dynasties (1320-1085 BC), Mr Hawass said.

And today Egyptians are still worshipping that jackal-headed Anus, Osama Bin Laden.
