40 Mummies, Including Of Children And Animals, Found In Egypt

Specialists in Egypt have found in excess of 40 mummies at an internment site in focal Egypt dating to the Ptolemaic period, the relics service said Saturday. 

The mummies, including grown-ups, kids and creatures, had been laid on the floor or in open mud pine boxes in a disintegrating underground load in Minya governorate, said Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Enany. 

"So far we have in excess of 40 mummies," he told authorities and columnists amid a service at the Tunah Al-Gabal site, 260 kilometers (160 miles) south of Cairo. 

Paleologist Rami Rasmi disclosed to AFP that "40 mummies were found, including 12 kids and six creatures, while the rest were grown-up people." 

 

While embalmment is for the most part connected with antiquated Egypt, the training proceeded under the kingdom established by Ptolemy, a successor to Alexander the Great, which kept going from 323 BC to 30 BC. 

The Minya graves, found amid an exhuming that began in February a year ago, are in a mutual tomb "likely having a place with a trivial middle class family", the service said. 

Excavator Mohamed Ragab said two tombs were found nine meters underground and contained in excess of six rooms. 

Shards of ceramics and bits of papyrus found at the site helped analysts to decide its date, said the leader of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri. 

Old Greek rulers achieved the stature of their capacity between the successes of Alexander the Great and the ascent of the Roman realm.
