3000-years-Old: Archaeologists Unearth 20 Well Preserved Coffins In Egypt(Pics) by Explorers(m): 3:46pm On Oct 17, 2019 |
Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 'huge cache' of vividly painted wooden coffins near the ancient city of Luxor which 'may have belonged to high priests’. At least 20 well-preserved coffins have been found 'just as the ancient Egyptians left them', in the ancient town of West Thebes. Experts claimed that the coffins may date back to the third intermediate period which began with the death of Pharaoh Ramesses XI in 1070 BC, which would make the coffins around 3,000 years old. The Egyptian government made the announcement but has not yet revealed details of the discovery, instead releasing a series of photos which show the Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, Khaled el-Anan inspecting the findings. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7577157/amp/Archaeologists-unearth-20-preserved-wooden-coffins-Egypt.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like

Mariangeles:it could not mention any Pharoah's name so how would it have helped in discoveries The ancient egyptians had accurate records and hints which has lead to many discoveries. Did the bible help in dinosaur discoveries or the early humans found in africa that predates the bible abeg 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Mariangeles:let the bible tell the Pharoah's name o. Lets compare with Egyptian recorded accounts . Oops the bible writer knew it was a lie. Same bible said some people tried to build a tower to heaven ( today we know heaven is not in the skies). Or is it the story of galileo who was imprisoned after he proved the bible wrong hahahaha By 1615, Galileo's writings on heliocentrism had been submitted to the Roman Inquisition by Father Niccolò Lorini, who claimed that Galileo and his followers were attempting to reinterpret the Bible, which was seen as a violation of the Council of Trent and looked dangerously like Protestantism.[74] Lorini specifically cited Galileo's letter to Castelli.[75] Galileo went to Rome to defend himself and his Copernican and biblical ideas. At the start of 1616, Monsignor Francesco Ingoli initiated a debate with Galileo, sending him an essay disputing the Copernican system. Galileo later stated that he believed this essay to have been instrumental in the action against Copernicanism that followed.[76] 4 Likes 1 Share |

My concern right now is... what materials were used in making these coffins...? see ehn.. these fellas were into serious juju and sorcery. Most items they used to preserve things couldn't have lasted this much naturally. One example is that of king Tut. I love discoveries like these sha... they're usually very fascinating and intriguing 1 Like 1 Share |
