Few countries can measure up to Egypt when it comes to fascinating archaeological discoveries. A collection of 250 beautifully painted sarcophagi with well-preserved mummies is the latest to make headlines. The 2500-year-old artifacts, unveiled on May 31, 2022, were unearthed at Saqqara's "Cemetery of Ancient Animals," near Cairo. The temple complex was dedicated to Bast, the Egyptian goddess of protection and the bringer of good health. It was the burial place of choice for affluent residents of Memphis, the capital city of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

            I just went to a museam, and saw this mummy with broken legs inside a tiny coffin. People broke his legs so he could fit!

              Oh, and another gross thing, they would kill servants and put their bodies in tombs to serve the mummies in the underwold.

              Wow! I love Egypt's history and this is so cool! Almost everything in Egypt uses to be painted, even the sphinx. Also, some coffins were painted to have green faces, but I can't quite remember why.

                I was just in Egypt and we saw mummies and the pyramids. It is amazing that after all this time, they are still discovering more. I am so glad that history like this has not been lost completely. The archeological finds over recent years has been promising towards a greater understanding of the Ancient Egyptians and their country.

                  The one with the gold tounge must of been really rich when they were alive to be able to afford it.
