Around 300 ancient Roman coins were presented to the public by Italian Minister of Culture Alberto Bonisoli in Milan, after their discovery in an old theatre in Como.
One Italian cemetery director made a morbid discovery inside of an old wooden coffin tucked away in a graveyard on the Italian island of Sicily - the mummified body of a child! Dressed in festive clothing, the mummified infant girl was discovered at Palermo’s Santa Maria dei Rotoli cemetery by the cemetery’s director, Cosimo De Roberto, while he was checking the electrical system of the facility.
Ancient Egypt still has not revealed all her mysteries to modern archaeologists, new discoveries continue to provide more insight into the wonders of this ancient culture. Egyptian archaeologists discovered a necropolis concealing 17 intact mummies near the Nile Valley city of Minya on Sunday. The 17 bodies, which were extraordinarily well preserved within their bandages in the village of Tuna al-Gabal, were found with crockery items such as vases and cups, funeral masks and accessories, coins and papyri. Experts believe that, given the elaborated state of preservation of the mummies, the bodies belonged to priests and officials. The necropolis is the first one to be discovered in the western desert village. What other mysteries and ruins remain hidden beneath the sands of Egypt?
Egyptian archaeologists have discovered six mummies, colourful wooden sarcophagi and more than 1,000 funerary statues in a 3,500-year-old tomb near the southern city of Luxor, the antiquities ministry said Tuesday. IMAGES
The mystery of ancient Egypt just became even more intriguing as parts of an ancient statue of Egyptian Pharaoh Psamtik I were unveiled at the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo's Tahrir square on Thursday. A German-Egyptian archaeological mission discovered the finds on March 9. The newly discovered pieces of the Psamtik I statue will be moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum for restoration work. They are expected to be on display by the inauguration date of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, April 2018. Who knows what wonders still lay buried beneath the sands.
