Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered two mummies, reportedly discovered on top of each other, and a stone coffin within a cemetery dating back some 5,000 years to the early ancient Egyptian period.
The experts uncovered a limestone sarcophagus in their excavations. The team also partially uncovered a coffin cover and found the two mummies “on top of each other.” The coffin measured 6.5 feet long and 23 inches in width. The mummies were said to be in poor condition. In recent years, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities has been working to publicize the ongoing archaeology work in the country in a bid to attract tourism. Tourism has dwindled in Egypt since the country's 2011 revolution and the extended period of instability that followed.
The joint French-Egyptian archaeological team at Tell el-Samara uncovered stores containing the bones of animals and the remnants of plants. It also excavated pottery and stone tools that indicated stable human habitation in the area.
