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 saw an unwrapped move mummy before in person, and its gross enough to make it not cool.

                    if I were to wake up in a tomb, I would be fine. It would be better than being underground in a coffin with barely any way out. I have been scared of being buried alive for YEARS.
