A mysterious ten foot (three-metre) long black sarcophagus has been opened in Alexandria, found on the northern coast of Egypt and founded by the legendary leader of the same name.

The 6.5ft (two metre) high coffin was first discoveredearlier this month and unearthed in recent days.The 30-ton (27,000 kg) tomb was found buried 16ft (five metres) beneath the ground of the city.

Egyptologists pried open the black granite sarcophagus earlier today to reveal three decomposed bodies.

The stone coffin was also filled with sewage water, which is believed to have increased the rate of decomposition.

Three mummies.


The stone coffin was also filled with sewage water, which is believed to have increased the rate of decomposition.

Researchers opened it 20 days after discovering it beneath the city.


One of the skulls appears to have been hit by a sharp instrument.

They also said that the other two skulls were intact and male, with further studies expected to reveal their ages and appearances.


Antiques ministry officials said at the time it was discovered that the sarcophagus had been sealed for more than 2,000 years.

An undisturbed layer of mortar sat between its lid and the body of the coffin.

wow

if you know you didn't see anything meaningful inside just like me, click like....if you did, share....

Opened and nothing happened?

In the original Mummy Movie, when they opened the coffins, different things use to crawl out,and curses were unleashed in the land.

Nothing like that happened here Explorers?

When news it would be opened surfaced online, American author Catherynne Valente joked: 'If the movies have taught me anything, guys, don’t open that.

Just don’t. Leave it alone.




'The move was confirmed by Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt.

'The sarcophagus has been opened, but we have not been hit by a curse, said Mr Waziri.

Reminds us of the movie : THE MUMMY...scary sh#t!

So you live long in life!!

Never disturb the dead.


There is a reason we say "rest in peace"

Okay.

Stone coffin filled with sewage liquid with 3 bodies in it....evidently there is a story here. Its possible the occupants were under some kind of possession, disease or part of a sect or were buried alive as punishment. Else why bury three persons together in a sealed stone coffin. They should have left it the way it was o...as if we haven't seen enough strange things in this lifetime.

That could be the skull of Pharaoh, Joseph and guard

those skulls looks like a male skull and I think these guys were buried alive.. just saying!!!

What

I talk am. Curiosity will kill plenty people.

What they're calling sewage water, actually isn't.

When Egyptians bury 3 people at the same time in a single coffin, you know they committed a great crime and their spirit go dey vex.

The coffin is not like your usual Egyptian coffin.
These people took great care to create a coffin that would not only keep the bodies in it, but prevent something from escaping. How else do you explain the 'sewage water'?


You will never find a black man excavating the remains of his ancestors. For what na?

Anything that will happen thereafter should please stop there, we get enough of our own problems here in Naija.

Ur d only one making sense here.......
A coffin of black granite( note the colour), sealed with mortar, and d sewage liquid indicates something isn't meant to escape (their essences,auras or spirits or some deadly plaque).

What those guys found was an elaborate ceremony about something very very serious.

Note the absence of ornaments or figurines,like the pharaohs...

what's special about Egyptian mummies
Oyinbo people nor get work
