In a press statement, El-Enany also thanked the excavation workers for operating in difficult conditions while adhering to new coronavirus-related safety measures.

" very exciting discovery," he said in a video released by the ministry."I think it's only the beginning."Egypt Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities/FacebookAll 27 of the sarcophagi unearthed from Saqqara appear to be completely sealed, with initial studies suggesting that they haven't been opened since they were first buried, the ministry said.

Please do not open it this year 2020. We have pandemic and natural disasters all over even this time in whole west region with wildfires. Please do not open it. Just too much for one year.

It's 2020...leave them be!

Seen this in some flick with Bo Karloff. Dude was wrapped in bandages. It’s been done.

Stop digging their faces just let them be

I heard he died of the China Virus.

Must be Biden ?

Grave robbers.

Don't worry, we'll paint over again

Isn’t that the Melanie statue in her home town?

Archaeologist love being in Egypt trying to piece shit together that they’re never going to find out ! Ancestors don’t let you leave like sonny in the bar

SaucedbySally Despite staying underground? Maybe they retained their colors *because* they were underground?

Lol igbos never start to so colors that time naim make am retain the colors koweiszki

Surely the coffins were built by a slave. They should be burnt to the ground!!!!!!!

This is probably how Covid and other viruses came to be....people over there digging up and opening ancient shit. LEAVE STUFF BURIED! If it is still that well intact after all this time..that means THEY MEANT IT TO STAY CLOSED FOREVER! Honor that!

Leave them alone! Jesus. All 2020 needs is some sort of mummy curse

Amazing.

put them back please and thank you

Killbill_345 They love grave robbing lol

U can't tell any human not to open something they discovered..is never possible

This is amazing, but the timing....2020 you bastard...ffs, just open 'em up and let's get the mummy apocalypse underway

eh... do not open. Watch The Mummy & Indiana Jones before making decision to do so. Thank you, 2020 cannot get any worse. [it can if MF 45 steals another election]

Always curious to know where is the line from grave robbery/desecration to archaeology?

bartender bartenderslife Can anyone help me out tonight, $WDW710 a friend helped me out earlier but now I’m stuck getting rained on & I would like to make my mom’s birthday special tomorrow. I did buy her some flowers today thanks B

aw fuck we are done.

I wonder if 3000 years from now people will be digging up our graves curious why our civilization imploded. Lol.

It's amazing that there are still unknown artifacts.

PUT IT TF BACK !!

While that’s a great discovery, you should still leave them at peace. TJ comments are right, let’s not open another Jumanji hell.

Ammm who said that that was it's original colour...?

My relatives. I demand my inheritance.

Do you want to endure wrath? Because this is how you endure wrath.

Um, maybe right now is not the best time.

Tolong bapak jangan dibuka, wkwkwk

Unlike all the older ones.

Egypt discovered freedom!

Yah this ain't the right year to be opening up ancient coffins...last thing we need ryt now are zombies

Good. Don't open them, Pls. 😒

Why do archeologists steal? Put it back it doesn’t belong to you.

IAmMonique16 If one is empty I can point you in a direction...

Perhaps we should stop digging up other countries' remains unless we are ok with them digging up ours....

Please do not open this shit

Leave them tf alone

Imhotep! Imhotep! ('...')!!

seen it

I wouldn’t open them! We don’t need any curse of any pharaoh! 🏃🏻That would be like Jumanji level 9 🤯

At that time the European were naked wearing leaves. Until the Romans taught them how to have real bath as the learn from the Greeks who learnt from the Africans!

I think one should look to history with an open mind. Everything we know were written while everything had to make sense in a Christian manner, or it would have been discarded

Can't wait to see the wonders in them. Please open ASAP..

Just wait 4 more months please.

Open them right now, you cowards! 2020 demands it!😳

Put that shit back! This is not the time for this insanity.

Welp. Here comes the end.

Somebody get Geraldo on the phone!!

And Nancy Pelosi

And the world ends in 7 years.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to follow up on this later. I’m kind of busy with this dinosaur head I dug up in the backyard

Ohhhh you know who that looks like. She should have worn her mask that day.
