carbon dating does not date stone but human and organic so if they have not opened it how did they carbon date it
Hmmmm. You are right bro. Stone and sand contain silicon and oxygen. How to get carbon content from stone remains a misery. I think they use other scientific method. Thanks bro

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.
my thought though.

That could be the skull of Pharaoh, Joseph and guard

Stop typing ignorant rubbish. There is no such person as ''Pharoah''. That was a title like 'Oba' and there have been hundreds of pharaohs in Egypt's history. So when you mention the world, Pharaoh, you must mention WHICH Pharaoh, you are talking about, as they all have names.

This is why many of you should spend less time on the bible and more time studying history.

Most people don't know anything


Egypt
Ethiohia
Sudan
Mali



These countries have truck loads of histories. Civilization started in those countries, only IF Africans can return to their roots and learn

Well said.

In fact there is the world's oldest civilization which preceded Egypt. It is known as Ta Seti

Ta Seti was a huge empire in the middle of what is now the Sahara Desert. A few thousand years ago, the Sahara was filled with vegetation, lakes, cities and kingdoms.



Ancient Nubian Artifacts Yield Evidence of Earliest Monarchy

New York Times


Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia in Africa.

Until now it had been assumed that at that time the ancient Nubian culture, which existed in what is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt, had not advanced beyond a collection of scattered tribal clans and chiefdoms.

The existence of rule by kings indicates a more advanced form of political organization in which many chiefdoms are united under a more powerful and wealthier ruler.

The discovery is expected to stimulate a new appraisal of the origins of civilization in Africa, raising the question of to what extent later Egyptian culture may have derived its advanced political structure from the Nubians. The various symbols of Nubian royalty that have been found are the same as those associated, in later times, with Egyptian kings.

The new findings suggest that the ancient Nubians may have reached this stage of political development as long ago as 3300 B.C., several generations before the earliest documented Egyptian king.

Those grave -diggers manipulate people' s minds on purpose to stay relevant. The 'scientific methods' they use are opinion - driven not fact-driven.
Also they are not telling us what the margin of error on those tests is.

Another question that comes into mind is : what are we going to learn from their findings beside the usual questionable things such as the age , the gender of the dead, the cause of death , the last meal the person ate before dying etc ?

All things considered,
The Egyptian government should be prosecuted for abusing the corpses of dead people.

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.
