WATCH: More than 100 coffins dating back 2,500 years were found in the vast burial ground of Egypt’s Saqqara Necropolis

The 26th Dynasty coffins - sealed, finely painted and well-preserved - were of a higher quality than previous finds there, said the secretary-general of the supreme council of antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, suggesting they belonged to higher ranking families.

Fifty-nine coffins were unearthed in August at the same UNESCO world heritage site. More treasures are expected to be found there, said Waziri. The newly-discovered coffins, plus associated mummies and artefacts, will go on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is expected to open next year.Our Standards:

Can You recall what Occurred When Pharaoh Tutankhamun Was Unearth ? Misfortune followed StaySafe reuters

And the US unveils more than 200,000 coffins dating back over the past 9 months.

Things were fine until they started digging out tombs in Saqqara.... Just saying

How about just leave them alone.

ComfortablySmug is this why you went to Egypt?

With the addition of one or two more coffins this could have been the greatest practical joke of all time.

Are those all the Joe Biden Voters!!

Why y’all keep unleashing spirits out in the eeefer?

Headlines like these have me internally groaning to stop touching things in 2020. Just save it for the New Year, for pity’s sake /:

Maybe leave them where they found them. I 'discovered' some graves at the lofal cemetery, I didn't dig them up and put them on display.

Come sono brutte .....

Egyptians want these dead souls to wear masks before being buried again to safely rest till eternity. You know COVID is real right?

The walking dead will soon take place in Egypt

Modern Egyptians are the only direct descendants of ancient Egyptians Egyptians were never black but mediterranean caucasoids ppl (have light skin in the north / wheat skin in the south get tanned due to exposure to sunlight )

Indiana Jones eat your heart out

why are they disturbing these black Egyptians, let them rest in peace and stop stealing and robbing their graves, if it were their ancestors they wouldn't be doing this to them, they have no respect for our black ancestors.

Utterly immoral but absolutely amazing! pillage sacrophagi Saqqara

These mummies have no need to worry wearing masks.

Let them rest. Jesus F Christ.

Utterly immoral but amazing. plunder sacrophagi Saqqara

🤭

aku lagi diperjalanan,nanti kalau saya sudah duduk santai kita chat lagi

You know... It's November 2020... They could've waited 1 more months....

China Did they die from covid

China Not this year ffs. Wait till Jan

More desecration of Egypt as usual

Grave robbing!

Is it because their 2500 yrs old that we feel obliged to desecrate their graves?

Soon on NatGeo disneyplus

Idiots ....can't they wait for a month to get over this cursed year

And why can’t we just leave them alone?

Amazing

I just hope the mummies won't wake up at night like in the movie 😱, Let the dead rest.

I understand the historical significance of this, but what if someone stared digging up an American cemetery, say Arlington National, and started opening the coffins. I don't think the response would be all that positive. Maybe we need to have some respect for Egypt's dead.

Wow❤️🇪🇬❤️👍

Shouldn't we just leave these where they are?

Leave the dead alone!

Requiescat In Pace RIP

Oh god, I can picture it now, the year 2020 will end with hordes of mutant zombie mummies attacking mankind and eating our brains! Or not.

This is where we’re getting viruses!

ayeee

Did anyone else feel that cold chill...

They weren't lost, so why look for them? Leave them in peace!

Would they be so kind, and put them back? ASAP?

So much for rest in peace

And why tf are they opening them?! It’s 2020 we don’t need no more shit happening
