“This is the first discovery in Asasif by dedicated Egyptian hands, comprised of archaeologists, conservationists and workers.” Nigeria

The antiquities ministry officially unveiled the discovery made at Asasif, a necropolis on the west bank of the Nile River, at a press conference against the backdrop of the Hatshepsut Temple.

The 30 ornately decorated coffins of men, women and children were found only a metre underground, stacked in two rows. They are believed to belong to family members of high priests. “We only did remedial first-aid on these well-preserved coffins. They are considered to be in great condition because there were hardly any settlements” around the site, local antiquities ministry restorer Saleh Abdel-Gelil told AFP.

But several high-level officials, including President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, have in recent weeks affirmed Egypt’s stability following rare, small-scale protests in September that drew a heavy-handed response from security forces.
