Egypt, as the cradle of civilization, can also be given the title of 'king of historical mysteries', because the finds of archaeologists in this place always surprise, and often frighten.
The latest discovery of this year in Egypt is a large sarcophagus, built from black granite, which the local authorities found during the construction of the building.
The tomb, measuring 180 cm x 260 cm x 165 cm, is the largest coffin ever discovered in the city, but what makes the tomb special is information that it has not been opened for 2000 years.
To archaeologists managed to find several graves in the area over the centuries, but this one the large tomb remained sealed in mortar – they found her buried 5 meters deep in the ground, and should belong to the period of the Ptolemaic kingdom.
They also found near the sarcophagus worn alabaster bust, which is likely man from the tomb, but the identity of the body is still unknown, so they can't confirm it. Is the find too creepy?
