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.
