An excavation of a tomb where many high priests were buried in the Minya Governate, about 186 miles (300km) south of Cairo, revealed one burial site dedicated to an otherworldly presence. Researchers from Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities discovered a sarcophagus dedicated to Horus inside the tomb.

Horus was considered the god of the sky in Ancient Egypt and was a deity associated with death and resurrection. Horus was also the son of the goddess Isis and the god of the underworld Osiris. Together with Isis and Osiris, Horus formed the principal trinity among Egypt’s gods and goddesses.
In total, the latest mission from the Egyptian archaeologists unearthed 16 tombs containing 20 sarcophagi, some engraved with hieroglyphics, all of which date to around 3,000 years ago.



Other findings include 10,000 blue and green ushabti (funerary figurines), 700 amulets, several of which were made from pure gold, and bearing scarab shapes. The Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany said the Minya region “continues to reveal its secrets”. Mohamed Wahballah, a member of the archaeological team, added two of the sarcophagi were still sealed and in “very good” condition.

Minya has become a hotspot for Egyptian archaeology, with several major findings discovered in the region.

Just last year, archaeologists discovered tombs containing mummies dating back to the Cleopatra era in Minya. Cleopatra belonged to the Macedonian Greek dynasty of the Ptolemies, with European origins dating back to northern Greece. The burial chambers were said to be in good condition shedding a light on how ancient Egyptians lived thousands of years ago.

The last decade had major archaeological discoveries, from the 10-month excavation of a Bronze Age settlement in England to what could be the world’s oldest figurative artwork, which was found in Indonesia last year. To find out more, nine archaeologists and scholars share their thoughts on which of these finds was the most the most significant?

In 2017, the domicile room of Sally Hemings at Thomas Jefferson’s historic Virginia mansion, Monticello, was discovered. Hemings, an enslaved woman, is believed by many to have given birth to several children of one of America’s beloved Founding Fathers. (The theory is supported by DNA evidence.) This discovery once again puts a focus on the entangled roles of enslaved people in the founding of the United States and, more importantly, on the private life of the man who famously wrote “All men are created equal,” and yet, over the course of his life, was a slaveholder of hundreds of Black lives.

There have been many spectacular finds over the last decade. But, the one I personally consider most significant is the (beautifully excavated) waterlogged, burnt-down Bronze Age village at Must Farm in Whittlesey, England. The combination of conflagration and water logging means that organic preservation is unbelievable, offering a richly textured, tangible vision of daily life 3,000 years ago. Usually, our stories of the Bronze Age concern chiefs, swords, gold, and war; but Must Farm’s data lets us explore sewing, cooking, carpentry, and the sort of day-to-day existence that would have been familiar to most Bronze Age people.

For me, the most remarkable archaeological discovery of this decade was the finding of the oldest known inscribed papyri at the ancient port of Wadi el-Jarf on the Red Sea. Almost 4,600 years old, they are the administrative archive of one of the officials who controlled the gangs who quarried and ferried stone for the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It’s amazing to have even a fragmentary glimpse of the day-by-day records of the work of the pyramid builders.

During the last decade, several findings have shaken up our previous knowledge or assumption in palaeoanthropology and prehistoric archaeology disciplines. I reckon the most significant discovery has been the evidence that there were more hominins sharing the world at the same time, such as Denisovans or the recently found H. luzonensis. This makes research in prehistoric archaeology much more complex and exciting than what it was previously, pushing for more systematic and scientifically-based interpretations of human evolution paths.

Most Significant Archaeological Discoveries of the last Decade according to Four Historians

A rare medieval priestly burial was among over 50 burials unearthed by archaeologists at Lincoln Cathedral.

One of the many complete skeletons found is believed to be that of a medieval priest, who had been buried in the area that is now the building’s West Parvis.

The priest had been carefully buried with a pewter chalice and paten, used during communion and key symbols of the work of the priest. Similar examples have been dated to as far back as the 12th and 13th centuries.

In addition to the skeletons excavated during the project, several other historic artifacts are currently being studied and dated. Some will be displayed as part of the new Lincoln Cathedral visitor center, which is due to open in summer 2020.


Other finds from the excavations include a hand from a statue that may be from a very early frieze, and a coin depicting the face of Edward the Confessor, the last king of the House of Wessex, who ruled from 1042 to 1066. The coin was minted between 1053 and 1056, so pre-dates the building of the current Cathedral.
Evidence was also uncovered of high-status Roman buildings in the area of the new visitor’s center, which is within a building previously used as a deanery.

Highly-decorated painted wall plaster from three different rooms, a near complete incense burner, a perfume jar and a Roman spoon were among the notable finds.Some of the Roman wall plaster was painted with an intricate flowers and leaves design, while the rest features colored bands. It may be possible for some to be reconstructed in the near future.

“Since our work began on the Cathedral as part of the Connected project in 2016, we have uncovered significant evidence of Lincoln’s medieval, Saxon and Roman past. The objects we have found are not only beautiful and interesting in themselves but importantly they enable us to better interpret the lives of those who occupied the city in previous centuries.”- Natasha Powers, Senior Manager at Allen Archaeology.

The overall project includes vital restoration and renovation works to the iconic building, which are due to be completed in 2022.

Further discoveries are expected after the excavation of Roman and medieval features around the gothic landmark.

Medieval Priest's remains discovered at Lincoln Cathedral

Archaeologists in northern Poland have made an unexpected discovery: certain local graves from the Middle Ages belonged to warriors from Scandinavia.

The discovery was made in a medieval cemetery in the village of Ciepłe, in the Pomeranian region in northern Poland.

Some of the graves are around 1,000 years old; they belong to people who lived during the reign of Bolesław the Brave, the first King of Poland, who lived from 967 to 1025.

Four graves located in the centre of the cemetery caught researchers’ attention.
“Men, probably warriors, were buried in them, as shown by the weapons and equestrian equipment laid there with them,” said Sławomir Wadyl of the Archeological Museum in Gdańsk, who has been conducting research at the graveyard.
A study of this site was edited by him, entitled “Ciepłe. An elite early medieval cemetery in eastern Pomerania”, was released in Poland last year.

One of the questions that Wadyl and his colleagues wanted to answer in their research was where the people buried in the cemetery came from.

Samples from some of the remains were sent off for genetic and stromium isotope analysis, which can provide researchers with information about where someone lived.
This analysis yielded some surprising results: the four warriors buried at the centre of the cemetery were not locals. Instead, they came to Poland from Scandinavia – most probably Denmark, according to Wadyl.

Indeed, some of the weapons found with the warriors, primarily swords and spearheads, appear to have been made in western Europe or Scandinavia, rather than by local swordsmiths.

The graves themselves provide a further clue: the four warriors were buried in graves made of wood  a type of grave found in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, but rarer in medieval Poland, unlike the other bodies in the cemetery, which were buried directly in the ground.

The discovery of the Scandinavian warriors provides researchers with further insights into society in early medieval Poland.
Wadyl says: “Buried in the central part of the cemetery, they represented the social elite at the time, as shown by the monumental nature of their graves and rich equipment.
“They probably belonged to a group of elite riders, but their role was probably not limited to warriors’ functions.”

Archeologists find VIKING graves in Polish village

A dog that was trapped on a southern Idaho cliff for more than five days was rescued by heroes on a passionate mission. The dog, later named Clifford was awaiting his heroes from the Friends Forever Animal Rescue to save him.

“It was pretty intense. Especially getting up there, and then it was even more so getting him down after trying to gain his trust and pass him down from one person to the next to get him down,” said Richard Jensen of the animal rescue group. Volunteers got the call October 13 and quickly made their way out to Bliss, where they found the dog trapped on a steep cliff.
"If we’re not there doing it, whose going to be doing it?" said Dave Wright of Friends Furever Animal Rescue.
Many other agencies including law enforcement were unable to help, but Wright and his crew knew their experience with rock climbing would come in handy.
“So, I’ve done years of scrambling, peak scrambling, alpine climbing, things like that. So, we went in with safety in mind,” Wright said.
Drone footage of Clifford quickly went viral and the community jumped into action to donate money for his vet bills and try to help find an owner.
“You know, it’s the nature of Facebook. As much as people hate the “F-word”, it has saved literally millions of animals,” Wright said.
Clifford is now recovering from superficial wounds at a foster home in Twin Falls. “It is an extremely gratifying thing that we do. It keeps us going. To be honest, there's a lot of stress involved,” Wright said. But most importantly, Clifford is learning to trust again. “There's stories that don't have happy endings. There's times we show up a minute too late. But it's the happy endings is why I do it,” Jensen said.

Dog saved after being trapped on Idaho cliff for 5 days


Big Dog Ranch's search and rescue team located a dog buried under air conditioning units in Marsh Harbour by using infrared heat-seeking technology on a drone. It was estimated that the dog had been trapped there for over three weeks.

Big Dog got the word on Friday morning at 9:30. "They texted me and they said urgent, We need a plane now. We had a plane there within an hour," says Lauree Simmons, president, and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
Simmons says they're naming the dog "Miracle" because it's a miracle he is still alive. It's truly a miracle that he survived this long on his own. Miracle has arrived at Big Dog Ranch Rescue at 1:38 p.m. While standing in the emergency room at Simmons told veterinarian staff, "[He was] underneath an AC unit, he was trapped since the storm. And he is just totally emaciated."

Unfortunately the other dog that was trapped there with him is deceased. "Miracle" was given 300mm of fluids and fed small amounts of food before he was cleared for transport back to the United States. "Hopefully, we can find his owners. If not we'll find him a wonderful home, I want everybody to know the crisis in the Bahamas is not over, there are a lot of dogs too scared to come out because of heavy equipment that's in the area for cleanup efforts." says Simmons.

This rescue mission is Big Dog's 12th since Hurricane Dorian ravaged parts of the Bahamas in September. The team members were Sean Irion, Big Dog Ranch Rescue Volunteer, Douglas Thron, of Douglas Thron Aerial Cinematography, and photographer Cristy Nielsen.

Small stone tools probably arrow and spear tips found in a cave in Sri Lanka are rewriting the story of how humans moved into challenging new environments nearly 50,000 years ago. New radiocarbon dating shows that the microliths are the oldest found in South Asia and among the oldest in all Eurasia. The tools appear to have been part of a “survival toolkit” that enabled Homo sapiens to move into rain-forests and other difficult settings much earlier than previously thought.

Until recently, rain-forests were seen as barriers to human migration, with disease, dangerous animals, the scarcity of carbohydrate-rich plants and limited resources all posing challenges. Therefore, research on human migration in Asia has focused on the coast and Savannah. But over the past decade, growing archaeological evidence has shown H. sapiens lived in tropical rain-forests in South Asia, South-East Asia and Melanesia between 45,000 and 36,000 years ago. Missing from this picture was a good understanding of the technology humans used to survive.

So, the discovery of a huge repository of microliths in the Fa-Hien Lena Cave in Sri Lanka’s evergreen rainforest piqued the interest of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History and colleagues from Sri Lankan and other international institutions.
Excavations in 2009, 2010 and 2012 yielded an extraordinary 9,216 artifacts, and these have finally been closely analysed for the first time.

The researchers, with funding from the National Geographic Society, found that the microliths – stone tools less than 40mm long – were up to 48,000 years old, making them at least as old as similar tools associated with H. sapiens in Europe.
code Copy and paste this code on your site.
Writing in PLOS One, they say the sophisticated, miniaturised tools used by the occupants of the Sri Lankan caves changed little over the long period of human occupation, which ended only 4,000 years ago. This suggests they were remarkably successful. In Europe and Africa, the earliest appearance of hewn stone tools is linked to hunting medium and large-sized animals in grassland or woodland settings, or as adaptations to risky environments during periods of climatic change.

But the small, quartz microliths found in Fa-Hien Lena Cave were more likely to have been used to hunt tree-dwelling prey and small mammals. The miniaturisation of stone tool technology is seen as a major step in the development of technologies such as the bow and arrow. The researchers conclude that our ancestors were able to adapt their stone technology to the requirements of new environments, making microliths a flexible toolkit for survival as H. sapiens spread out of Africa.

Intriguingly, the idea that early humans in Sri Lanka could have produced microliths so long ago was first floated in the 1980s but was overlooked because scientists did not believe humans there could have produced such tools before European humans. Michael Petraglia, one of the paper’s authors, says more research is underway on bone tools and fragments from Fa-Hien Lena Cave.

“Whatever the results, these miniaturized stone tools place Sri Lanka in a central position in terms of discussing technological sophistication among our species.”

Sri Lanka’s Sophisticated Stone Tools Dated to 48,000 Years Ago


In the 14th century, the Black Death(Plague) took out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, spreading rapidly from the shores of the Black Sea to central Europe. Although historical records first document its appearance in 1346 C.E. in the lower Volga region of Russia, researchers didn’t know whether the highly virulent strain of Yersinia pestis bacterium that caused the deadly pandemic came from a single source or was introduced to Europe more than once by travelers carrying diverse strains of plague from different parts of the ancient world.

Now, by analyzing 34 ancient genomes of Y. pestis from the teeth of people buried at 10 sites across Europe from the 14th to 17th centuries (including a mass grave in Toulouse, France—above), researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, have found the earliest known evidence of this pandemic comes from Laishevo, in Russia’s Volga region. There, researchers found a strain of Y. pestis that was ancestral to all other genomes they studied, differing by only one mutation from those that caused the Black Death in Europe, they report today in Nature Communications.

That doesn’t mean the Volga region was ground zero for the Black Death—it could have come from elsewhere in western Asia, where scientists have yet to sample ancient DNA of Y. pestis. The researchers found that once the plague made it to Europe, a single strain was responsible for the Black Death, from Italy to the United Kingdom. This strain also gave rise to other variants of Y. pestis that caused deadly plague outbreaks from the late 14th through the 18th centuries. This suggests the bacterium persisted locally in Europe, perhaps in rodent hosts, where it evolved into diverse strains that caused later epidemics.

Ancient DNA shows "The Plague" originating from Russia’s Volga region


Three Louisiana women were recently apprehended after they allegedly abused a paralyzed dog named 'Buddy'. According to a vet who examined the dog, his hind legs appear to have been cut off in such a horrible animal cruelty. Following the disturbing occurrences, 'Buddy' has been receiving proper medical treatment that he critically needed for months prior, as official are left perplexed at why anyone would do such a malicious act to harm this dog.

This 2 year old dachshund was first discovered in the pouring rain at a mobile park home last week by a Slidell, LA resident, a spokesperson from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office (STPSO) said in a press conference.

A local animal rescue "Dante’s Hope East" was brought to the scene on September 25th to retrieve the abandoned canine who was left to die, but instantly contacted the sheriff’s office when they noticed 'Buddy’s back legs were both missing. After investigating, officials were able to determine who Buddy’s owners were a 50-year-old Slidell woman and her 17-year-old daughter, both of whom were arrested for animal cruelty as well as more of the dog’s heartbreaking back story.

According to the STPSO spokesperson, Buddy was shot in February 2019 and although the two women reported the incident to law enforcement at the time, they did not seek out any medical help or treatment for their puppy’s injuries. After the incident, Buddy suffered from partial paralysis in his legs and was unable to walk, forcing the dog to drag his legs behind him, which caused severe sores on his legs.

the STPSO spokesperson said that when they were confronted about Buddy’s missing hind legs, the two women claimed they “fell off” after they bandaged them too tight. However, a board-certified veterinarian orthopedic surgeon refuted that claim. After Buddy was examined, the Vet concluded that his wounds were “maliciously inflicted” by his owners and ruled out any probability of the pup’s legs being removed by a medical professional or by natural means.

A Facebook fundraiser that was created on behalf of Buddy amid his health crisis also explained how serious the dog’s condition was.
“He has a bone sticking out and infection setting in. Due to blood loss, he had to have a blood transfusion today in order to survive,” the fundraiser’s organizer, Gina Polk-Derouen, wrote on Sept. 24. That His wounds were cleaned, he had an IV and urinary catheter placed, and is now on IV antibiotics and pain meds until his values come up enough to survive surgery. His Xrays also show he has 2 bullets near his back,”
In just eight days, the fundraiser has raised over $18,600 for Buddy.

3 Women Arrested After Dog Is Found with His Hind Legs 'Intentionally' Cut Off

A Florida family is devastated that an eight-month-old pit bull died Tuesday after saving their two boys from a venomous snake attack. Gary and Gina Richardson's sons were in their backyard Monday in Sumter Country cleaning their dog Zeus' water bowl when a coral snake slithered it's way  to the two children.

"All of a sudden, he started attacking the snake which was close to my son and he was bit four times. I knew when he first came in that something was wrong and (it) was very traumatic because I knew he was dying,"
The family rushed Zeus to a vet in Ocala. The vet gave the puppy medicine and the family was hopeful that he would get better, but he died the next day.

“He’s been a member of the family,” Gina said. “It just killed us. We just knew the antivenom was going to work.”

Zeus lived with the Richardsons since he was born in January.

“Pit bulls are the most loyal dog I know of, and I’ve had a lot of different animals in my life,” Gary said. If you find (a pit bull) that’s aggressive, most likely, it’s because they weren’t treated right,” Gina said. “If you treat them right, they would give their life for you and I owe my son’s life to him.”

Dating back 1,800 years, the brass balsamarium shows head of a man wearing a cap made from the skin of a feline.(Image: © Daniela Agre)

The skeleton that was found in the grave belonged to a man who died when he was about 35 to 40 years old. Also buried with the remains, the team found a blade used to scrape sweat and dirt from the skin. Along side it rested the 1800 year old balsamarium: 


The balsamarium resembles a man with a goatee and a nose that looks to be broken or bent as if it had been injured and not fully healed. The man wears a cap that is made from the skin of a feline, probably a leopard, as archaeologists wrote in a paper published in the October issue of the American Journal of Archaeology. 



Many balsamariums have near identical features, such as a crooked or bent nose, have been found elsewhere in the Roman Empire and are often interpreted as depicting boxers or wrestlers.
"In our opinion, the grave belongs to a Thracian aristocrat, who has practiced sport in his everyday life, rather than to a professional athlete," Said Daniela Agre - archaeologist at the National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, who led archaeological work at the site. 


The grave of the sports man or enthusiast will allow many researchers to have a better understanding of life in Thrace during the Roman Empire. It shows that at least the local elite have acquired many  practices from the Romans. This find shows how popular the sport was in these regions.

BTS have really worked hard this year. One of their best accomplishments in 2019 has been for their album Map of the Soul: Persona, which topped the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, making it BTS' third No. 1 album on the chart. The achievement is remarkable since it means that BTS was the first artist since the Beatles to have three different albums rank at No. 1 within a year. It's not everyday you hear groups matching records set by the Beatles, and that's why people think BTS is worthy enough to receive a Grammy. Will BTS be nominated for a 2020 Grammy? It's definitely possible, especially with all BTS has accomplished in 2019.
A Grammy nomination is a huge honor and, if BTS were to be nominated, it would be yet another achievement BTS can add to their already-impressive resume. But how likely is it BTS will be nominated for a 2020 Grammy? Let's discuss what it takes to be eligible for a nomination.

According to the Grammy website, in order for an artist to be eligible for a Grammy, they need to have released music between Oct. 1, 2018, and Aug. 31, 2019. BTS have released a lot of music in that timeframe, like RM's October 2018 mixtape Mono, their Map of the Soul: Persona album that dropped in April (which included their single "Boy With Luv" featuring Halsey), their BTS World: Original Soundtrack that came out in late June, and their Japanese single "Lights" that dropped in July. All of these projects are eligible for Grammy consideration since they were released between Oct. 1, 2018, and Aug. 31, 2019, and they're all certainly Grammy-worthy quality. But fans think the group's Map of the Soul: Persona album and its lead single, "Boy With Luv," featuring Halsey, are most likely to snag nominations due to their overwhelming accomplishments.
For a quick overview, BTS are seemingly qualified for the following awards:


  • Album of the Year for Map of the Soul: Persona and Mono
  • Record of the Year for "Boy With Luv," "Lights," and "Heartbeat"
  • Song of the Year for "Boy With Luv," "Lights," and "Heartbeat"
  • Best Pop/Duo Group Performance for "Boy With Luv" ft. Halsey, "Lights," and "Heartbeat"
  • Best Pop Vocal Album for Map of the Soul: Persona
  • Best Music Video for "Boy With Luv," "Lights," and "Heartbeat"
  • Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for BTS World: Original Soundtrack

Fans will be happy to hear that BTS' "Boy With Luv" is definitely being considered for a few Grammys. According to Billboard, BTS submitted the single for consideration for the following categories: Best Pop/Duo Group Performance, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. It's unclear if BTS and Big Hit Entertainment have also submitted "Boy With Luv" for Best Music Video. While nominations are not announced until November, BTS fans are hopeful about the group’s chances.

“the day bts win a grammy, we’d probably trend keyboard smashes,” one fan joked.

Despite their success, BTS still faces xenophobia outside of South Korea. Some Western awards shows and radio stations do not treat BTS the same as other artists because they are Korean. BTS fans are hopeful and determined that BTS will prove naysayers wrong when the 2020 Grammys come around.

“mark your calendars, armys. on january 26, 2020, we will hear ‘the Grammy-award goes to.. BTS!!’ for the very first time after all what we and our boys have gone through the hands of this xenophobic society. WE WILL MAKE IT. BTS WILL MAKE IT,” a fan wrote on Twitter.

BTS Could Make History Again And Win the Grammy's 2020 Album of The Year Award !


A metal detector hobbyist has unearthed a rare 1,700-year-old gold collar in Estonia. Jegor Klimov was exploring a field at the ancient sacrificial site of Saaremaa as part of a search team led by archaeologist Marika Mägi when his metal detector alerted. The team had already decided to pack up and leave, but Klimov started to dig and revealed a tell-tale yellow glint. Archaeologists joined in and excavated a coiled up ring of gold with a serpent head on one end.

The collar dates to the Roman Iron Age, around the 3rd century A.D. Neck rings from this period were marks of high rank in Scandinavia, the more complex the design and construction, the more elite the wearer. Almost all the ones that have been discovered were found in bogs; none of them were found in graves. A few more simple arm rings and neck rings have been found in cremation burials. Studies of artifacts have found that objects buried in bogs were not, as a rule, the same as those buried in graves. Votive deposits were more precious, the best possible objects dedicated as sacrifices at sacred sites. Of the 60 or so extant gold neck rings from the Scandinavian Iron Age, almost all of them have been found in Sweden and Denmark. A handful have been found in Finland; one in Poland. This is the first of its kind found anywhere else in the Baltic states.

Very few artifacts from this period have been discovered in Estonia and gold objects from any period are extremely rare in the Estonian archaeological record. They can literally be counted on the fingers of one hand. At 175 grams in weight, this piece is the heaviest, most valuable gold archaeological artifact ever found in Estonia and must have belonged to someone of the highest rank among the Nordic elite. Its discovery supports the hypothesis that what is now western and northwestern Estonia had meaningful cultural contact with the peoples around the Baltic Sea and in Scandinavia as well as with the tribes in the modern-day Baltic states and Russia.

The Saaremaa piece may have been a bracelet, spiral collar or necklace. It’s difficult to say because, as is common with sacrificed objects, it was deliberately deformed, but its heavy weight and length suggests it was probably a neck ring.

“One can say that this is likely the most valuable single find,in the material sense, to be unearthed in Estonia,” Mägi explained to ETV news broadcast “Aktuaalne kaamera.” “It is believed that whoever wore these, they were a symbol of belonging to the highest echelons of society. So these are not regular bracelets. How this particular bracelet ended up in Saaremaa is an exciting question in its own right, and one we’ll likely never get a real answer for. This is a type of jewelry which throughout Scandinavia is considered one of the most significant items of the Roman Iron Age, and it is associated with royal power and royal families.”

Metal Detector Hobbyist Unearths a Rare 1,700-year-old Gold Collar in Estonia


Unearthed remains of a previously unknown military site include many coins and French tableware.


During redevelopment of the site in the Devon city archaeologists have described the important discovery, which occurred as important and unexpected. A Roman ditch was first uncovered, with further excavations revealing two more ditches running parallel to each other. These belonged to a previously unknown military site, which was either a fort occupied by an army unit or a defended compound.


Coins and pottery made in the area for the troops, as well as fine red samian tableware imported from France, were also discovered. The find was made by Cotswold Archaeology, which is working with Kier , the construction company, in the run-up to the renovation of a bus station and leisure complex.
Andrew Pye (archaeology officer at Exeter city council) said: “This is a very important, and completely unexpected, discovery, in an area that has been heavily changed by previous postwar redevelopment."
Along with other recent work in Exeter, it show just how much of the city’s history can survive in unlikely places, despite the damage caused by bombing and modern concrete foundations.

King Tutankhamun's body has never left it's 3300 year old tomb, even when it was discovered it was always left inside it's outter coffin made from gold and wood that stayed in the Valley of Kings until today.

As the development of tut's tomb took almost 10 years and has finished earlier this year by the Getty Conservation Institute and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. But now they are working on restoring his golden coffin, removing from it's resting place and letting experts take a much close look.


This complicated project is mainly motivated by the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in late 2020, which will open out over the Pyramids of Giza. As well as the three coffins that accommodates King Tut's Body. This exhibit will certainly display multiple relics found in his tomb.

Carter's discovery of Tut's coffin was the first time a royal tomb from ancient Egypt has been uncovered in outstanding conditions and well intact including royal treasures as well. After the discovery was made, two of three coffins were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo while the outer coffin was left inside the king's tomb. But after July of 1997 it was removed under intense security in order to keep it well intact, with careful restoration attempts underway experts have their chance to inspect the outer coffin up close and reveal the photo for us to see.
Given the extent of the damage that was due to the heat and humidity inside the tomb, Khaled el Enany who is the Antiquities Minister said that it would take a minimum of eight months to restore it as it was explained that the coffin is about 30% damaged.

King Tut's Coffin Removed from it's Tomb For The First Time in History

People are two types, extroverts and introverts, introverts are so special, they are proven to be the smartest, wisest and creative people on earth and most of successful people on earth, today we are going to show 10 things only introverts will understand.

1 Hate Exposed And Crowded Places
Well, they do their best to avoid places where they will more likely to meet someone or a group they don’t like, and they do their grocery at the time where everyone is busy.
2 Enjoy Staying At Home They love staying at home, it’s their comfort zone, they can stay for days, weeks…they just need internet, food and sometimes a cat.

3 Enjoying When It Rains Their favorite weather is the rainy one, since they are creative and they love details rain make them feel love, peace and charge them with positive energy, their heaven is watching their favorite shows and eating or drinking their favorite food while it rains outside.

4 Being Too Nice They are too nice to everyone,  making favors and respecting their friends and family.They often lose sleep if they think they did a bad thing to someone. As an example Keanu Reeves, who's known to be the kindest introverted celebrity ever.
