Mummies Discovered in Burial Shaft in Egypt - CNN

The Land of the Nile continues to unburden itself of its hidden wonders. Francesca Street covers a shaft located at Saqqara in Egypt's north with Late-Period finds just meters away from the recently-discovered 5th Dynasty tomb of Wahti. She also presents a 17th dynasty mummy and grave goods that were found in western Luxor. Angy Essam reports in more detail that Egypt's Min. of Tourism & Antiquities Announces Archaeological Discovery at Saqqara. There's a slightly hokey but quite fun video in Essam's article, plus more on that important 5th dynasty tomb that was uncovered in 2018. For the 17th dynasty find, try Nevine El-Aref's 17th Dynasty Mummy in Coffin Discovered at Dra Abul Naga Necropolis in Luxor.

Not only is the story behind this discovery quite interesting, writer Dalya Alberge argues "it has relevance for the modern garbage crisis." (WM)
