According to a report by Geek.com, archaeologists in Egypt made a major discovery when they unearthed eight limestone sarcophagi containing mummies at a desert site just 25 miles south of Cairo. In a Facebook post, Egypt's Antiquities Ministry said that the mummies are covered with a layer of painted cartonnage, which are plastered layers of fibre or papyrus used in funerary masks, in the form of a human. Geek.com reports that three of the mummies, dating back to the Late Period between 664-332 BC, are said to be in 'good condition of preservation.' The mummies were reportedly found at the south eastern area of King Amenemhat II’s pyramid in Dahshur royal necropolis, located on the western bank of the Nile.
