Oh really!!!

I was thinking there should be a law in the US about that right?

It's most likely all would have survived if they were on life jackets.

She should be put on suicide watch

Pakman:
explorers you are doing a great job here and so many folks do not read or even care to know about things like this but are quick to tell you which celebrity is dating the other. It is no doubt that we have so many dumb and unaware folks out there.

LifeIsGuhd:
This is a country that's ready to develop not


Btw, Explorers all these knowledge in your head... come letme marry you


If I get 200 likes, you should start making plans.

Wat a shame you can see why Nigeria don't allowed woman. To take any position in any political aspect do you remember wah happen to our former speaker who is a woman......

HungerBAD:
Yeah.

HungerBAD:
Nice.

Very beautiful.

Explorers did you follow the scandal that followed the photos he submitted to the Smithsonian?

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.

BabaRamota1980:
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.

vivaciousvivi:
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:
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.

luminouz:
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...
