Earthbound:

As a matter of fact, I do. These things aren't heresay. They weren't buried with even one piece of gold. Egyptians bury their dead, even the poor with enough gold to pay for the boat ride which transports them to the underworld. It may sound ridiculous but that's their faith. These mummies, were undignified in burial. It speaks volumes.

I concur.
I also believe in ancient curses.
Let's wait and see what the study would bring and all the different theories that would come up.
that "sewage water" though....I am confused.
I am sure they would take samples from the top and the sedimentary bottom for study.

The three people must have been prominent as at that time. They where probably beign dealt with by powers that be then. Look at the depth of the grave and the weight of the coffin. To me it looks more like a deliberate act by their killers. And you might be suprised that they where even buried alive.

until dem provoke the Mummy again

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...

Care to expand more in that area?

Haven't you heard of the word carbon dating?

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

Nothing will happen my brother... It has already rendered powerless by d Egyptian magicians, if not y would dey have kept it for good 20days b4 it

Hmm...three decomposing corpses...in sewage water locked up inside the coffin...its like these three guys commit a sort of sacrilege or taboo when dem dey alive.probabaly they were having threesomes or foursomes with the pharoahs mistresses or probably sneaking into the pharoah's harem to bang all those im sexy mistresses wey im lock up in purdah. I am sure dey were comitting all these sacrilege when the pharoah was on his usuall business foreign trips. The pharoah caught them red handed...cut off their tongues and buried them alive and drowned them in the smelly sewage water. Then he laid a curse on them and on who ever opened the box. Hope this ppl know what they playing with. Anyway the sickness of the egyptians will never be my portion.... In jesu name!

All these efforts should have been channeled into something meaningful to humanity

He's a trader at ochanja

I guess these were slaves or subjects that had committed an offence or treason... For them to bury them in such an awkward manner..

the main reasons they are always ahead

I doubt these ones were dead, most probably buried alive. I think one of them resisted and he was dealt that blow to force him to submission.

It's either they committed a great sacrilege and were cursed and punished or had a sort of viral disease that needed quarantine through death. .

I want you guys to mark my words very carefully and take what am about to tell you very seriously. Ever heard of the story that fulani people came from the sea? Thats what u are seeing here. A very long time ago, what we now call fulani people were originally a mixture of sea spirits and humans (thats why you never see there footsteps or cattle after an incident in a village), there descendants came out of the red sea with cattle in tow to explore the earth, and you know cattle leaves a lot of dung, so before they could all exit the sea, the egyptians enclosed them using black magic in the stone enclosure you are seeing. Now just coming from the sea left some sea water in the enclosure combined with cattle dung stock to their shoes is what the egyptians called sewage water today. The implication of opening the enclosure is that they just let free the original fulani spirit into the world. Brace up people and make way. Am not joking with this story, i mean it, just ask historians

Take a minute to think of how many coffins are still buried under our cities. Don't even try to think about it.

I'm marveled at the level of technology used in creating that tomb. How were they able to lift 30tons of solid rock of stone in that time? Look at the cut in that stone, you could define precision and accuracy.

In addition, some of the obelisks in Egypt are said to weigh about 1500tons of granite.. Damn! we have lost too many knowledge.

Especially grammar.

Egyptian King Maiherpri buried in The Valley of Kings.

Only Egyptian royals were buried in The Valley of Kings

Earlier thread:


https://www.nairaland.com/4618399/2000-year-old-coffin-made-stone-discovered

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.

This is evidently not a great way to be burried

University education has killed so many people's creativity

Only if the knew whatever might have entered their blood stream by inhaling

This is actually strange. Considering there are no markings or symbols on it.

vivaciousvivi:

I completely agree with you and Earthbound.
They were not pharaohs and possibly were not directly part of the royal linage.
Pharaohs when buried (even with their slaves - are buried outside their sarcophagus but still within the general tomb) though some have been known to be buried with cats within the sarcophagus (which ancient Egyptians may have revered). These ones were buried like prisoners.
My curiosity has been amped up by the discovery of the sewage.
2,000 year old sewage still in its original liquid form and almost filled to the brim!
Where did it come from? is it modern day sewage? why are the surrounding areas not mot with moisture from same? Or we see pipes underground that may have leaked in? How manage?
They also need to research how many times tombs of granite was used in ancient Egypt and possibly find out why.

Do you and Earthbound believe in the so called curses btw? And you Explorers? Whats your take?

Of course I do!!!! Egyptian curses are REAL!!!!
Ion think they are ordinary prisoners if they are,at all cuz no one uses such massive black coloured granite to bury 'prisoners'.
These ones were caged even in death,that's what these Egyptian authorities should find out

Donald95:


As old as you are, that movie the scare you na wa ọ

BTW why are they disturbing people resting in peace.

Thanks...I prefer not to share!!!

HungerBAD:
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?

They're yet to open d right one
