Usually when new discoveries are made or uncovered in Egypt, you’d hear about it on TV or maybe even from your friends. This time, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities made an amazing discovery and has announced it over the internet rather than TV for the first time ever.
What they had found was quite interesting; a shaft that is eleven meters deep. At the bottom, five sealed coffins made out of stones were discovered whereas more human burials were found alongside them.
The coolest part is that a huge wooden coffin had hieroglyphic carvings that were in yellow pigments. Other objects were found with these coffins as well. For instance, 365 figurine statues, a wooden obelisk, and miniature paintings that had the Gods on them such as Horus, Osiris, and Isis.

Now, you might get a little queasy at the next piece of information, so try to hold it down. Alongside these anthropoid coffins, they had found pottery jars that had visceras dissected throughout the mummification. Visceras are human organs such as intestines.
This depicts that , as we all know about ancient Egypt, they truly did believe in the aspect of afterlife. Which is why, when people used to die, they would carry their most prized possessions in hopes of having them with them when they reawaken.
Everything that was found in this discovery was taken to undergo speculation and to be studied. The discovered was made in Saqqara, located at the sacred animal cemetery that belonged to ancient land of Egypt. Over the past two years, many discoveries have been made across this precious land.
One of the most beautiful things they have discovered this time was the striking tomb of Wahti as well as the hidden sacred birds and various animals in the form of mummies. What was quite interesting is that most of the animals that were discovered are actually quite rare. Now we know why they had kept them with them on their death bed. They must have been of crucial importance.
Archaeologists had began working in this area since the beginning of April and are still ongoing, hoping to discover more ancient artifacts and tombs this month. We are proud that this discovery was made in celebration of World Heritage Day. What a coincidence!
