Some 13 2,500-year-old human coffins have been discovered during an excavation in Egypt.
In a Facebook post, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said the coffins were found in a “deep well for burial.” The wood coffins, stacked on top of each other, were buried in the 36-foot deep “well.”Initial indications are that the coffins haven’t been opened since they were closed 2,500-years ago. Other coffins are expected to be found in the sides of the well, according to officials.
“The identity and positions of the owners of these coffins or their total number have not been identified, but these questions will be answered within the next few days through the continuation of excavations,” the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in the Facebook post.Egypt continues to reveal new aspects of its rich history.
