Earthbound: This will be the first sarcophagus discovered holding liquid with mummies. Why Egyptians mummify their dead by removing the organs, placing them in jars, then wrapping the bodies and placing them in a coffins. Noble men or Royals were also processed this way but the only difference is Royals were given treasures(Gold), potteries, pets, weapons and sometimes slaves depending on the status of the body or how rich or powerful he was before dead. But look at this case, 3 dead bodies placed in a huge coffin made of black stone weighing many tons, filled up with liquid, sealed up and lowered 16ft deep. To me this looks like a prison. vivaciousvivi 7 Likes |

What's mysterious about this? Africans are usually afraid of any phenomena that they don't understand. Those are priceless architectural finds that can serve as a bridge between the past and the present. It can expand the frontiers of anthropological research. |

Explorers: Very interesting! @ 1st bolded. I see that you feel the liquid was placed in ancient times. Then it can't be normal sewage. How would you explain its current form 2,000yrs later please? @2nd bolded - interesting choice of words. I struggled a bit before I also came up with the word "prisoners" before - and I didn't mean it in the literal sense. people are locked up to frustrate them from acquiring freedom. In this case, not the body but their very souls (which may have been believed to inhabit untold evil). Why didn't they add a papyrus or even chisel the tomb. Such a mystery! Earthbound 1 Like |

Earthbound: Ancient civilizations buried slaves to go into other world in service of a dead King. It should not be surprising that three persons are found in one casket. There were also human sacrifices offered to gods and deities. Why stone casket? They were buried in a stone like material, not stone. Its impossible 2000yrs ago to hewn a stone into that form we see here. Even today, to get a product like that out of stone would require special tools and will be expensive. Wassup with the sewage water? Sewage water is biodegradable waste. If you put a person in leak-proof casket and pour clean water into it...in few years after decomposition of the corpse the water would be sewage. So there is nothing given here in matter of new knowledge regarding this finding. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmmm...No markings, no symbols or inscriptions. No gifts or provision to aid them in the afterlife either. The Egyptians strongly believe in the afterlife, and these ones clearly weren't meant to continue living in the afterlife. The movie "gods of Egypt (2016)" tried to mirror this practice. Most likely sacrificed. One of the skulls showed it was hit by a sharp instrument - maybe there was a struggle or resistance. They were most likely buried alive. |

BabaRamota1980: Yea, Egyptians buried slaves with noble men or royals for use in the afterlife(belief) but not in a 30tons coffin and not like this. Slaves were buried with Pharaohs or royals in chambers with rooms, one room for items(Gold, weapons, other items) one room for slaves and the other houses the real mummy. This is 16ft deep grave, with a black stone coffin weighing almost 30tons and 3 bodies were sealed in it with mortar. No gold, no treasure, nothing in the grave and no sign of noble men. Sewage or no sewage, why bury the 3 bodies in a liquid This has never happened bro. 2 Likes |

there is a reason for anything to happen... concerning the graphite, they are not hard like most people are thinking and can be carved using simple tools, but they are good water proof, that explain why the water didn't dry up. i believe the water would have been able to enter into the tomb through the lid coated with mortar as ages pass the mortar would have been weak and become permissible to water. the dept inst a problem because, no one would know how many times land slid or even erosion happened in that area...and i believe they arent of Egyptian descendant because there is no valid proof... remember always use your head and logic to get into a conclusion. 4 Likes |

We no longer have original engineers these days. Imagine stone coffin. Imagin the weight. Imagine the depth it was descended. I respect engineers of the old. What we have now are all fake. Even with CAD and other Computer Aided Machines, u cannot equate our today engineers with that of the olden days. Okey imagine this. In the Bible, we were taught that after God destroyed the earth with water. The people gathered and rise to build a tower that will reach heaven so that any other time try anything they don't like, they will climb the tower and go and question Him one on one. They built it close to heaven and God saw that they were serious and that if not stopped, they will build it into heaven and He struck them and confused their language. Finally, the tower was destroyed. What kind of pillar was supporting the tower? Were they using Dangote Cement or Chemical cement. Was there a lift that was carrying ppl to that height. In short, our engineers are still learning. 4 Likes |

This WAHALA requires serious reasoning and anticipation of subsequent occurences linkable to the exploration. Knowing the cultural values placed on burial by those people, even their peasants are buried humble and without much fuse. Why bury 3 grown ups together? Why the specialized coffin? Its size, weight, color and material? Why the need for any liquid content (even water) in the coffin? Why digging so deep to bury the bodies? Why didn't they use their common or designated sites? Why are there no inscriptions in the coffin or it's surrounding? For me, I believe that the reason such a rare and extremely difficult burial method was used over 2000 years ago was to eternally keep those bodies and whatever may be attached to them (maybe causes, diseases or plague) from seeing the light of day again and also being too disgusting to be accepted into after life. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Shame on you guys. You preserved all the Pharaohs and nobles in the pyramid with hope of resurrection and no luck but with just 3 words Jesus raised a rotten corpse. The Jewish Fathers instructed their kids to carry their bones to cannan because they were dead certain that one day Jesus would come and he came and you know what? Immediately Jesus said it is finished the veil was open and grave tore open and the dead were raised. It is all there for you. But you are always reading and never understanding. Resurrection is sure. Stop using those thrash to terrorize kids. 3 Likes |
