Eight paranoiac-era mummies have been discovered by archaeologists as Ancient Egypt continues to reveal its hidden treasures.

They were found in the same pyramid as King Amenhotep II located in Dahshur, near the Great Pyramids of Giza west of the capital Cairo.

Eight limestone coffins were discovered as part of an excavation project and were covered with a layer of colored cardboard in the form of an ear. An expert from Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry revealed that the mummies are in excellent condition and date from the “late era” of Ancient Egypt which spanned from 1085-332 BC.

Eight paranoiac-era coffins have been found as part of an excavation project, and one of them contained the remains of a person preserved in a burial ceremony in the form of a human (predeceased).

The Egyptian archaeological expedition was conducted in the southeast corner of the pyramid of King Amenhotep II when they uncovered the remains. Dr. Mustapha Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and head of the mission, said that the coffins are in excellent condition and date from the “late era” of Ancient Egypt, which spanned from 1085-332 BC.

The expedition began its work in August. Dr. Mustapha Waziri revealed that the coffins are new findings sent for restoration and examination by Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities officials and contained a priest in the 17th dynasty and another sarcophagus was from the 18th dynasty. ‘One sarcophagus was Rishi-style, which dates back to the 17th dynasty, while the other sarcophagus was from the 18th dynasty,’ Minister of Antiquities Khaled Al Anani said. ‘The two tombs were present with their mummies inside.’

The archaeological site outside Cairo revealed the limestone coffin containing mummies dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty, around 1400 BC. The Eighteenth Dynasty dates back to the 13th century BC and is a period noted for some of the most well-known Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun and Ramses II.

This discovery marks the first known time that authorities had opened a previously unseen sarcophagus before international media. The tomb contained five colored masks and some 1,000 Ushabti statues – miniature figurines of servants to serve the deceased in the afterlife.

Another Ancient Egyptian discovery was announced last week when a 3,000-year-old woman was found almost perfectly preserved. Skeletons were found in the ancient tomb in El-Asaseef, Luxor, on the bank of the River Nile near the Valley of the Kings.

The three-hundred-year-old mummies of robust people were removed over five months to uncover the tomb, which also contains colored paintings depicting the owner and his family.

The tomb, which also contains mummies, skeletons, and skulls, dates back to the middle-kingdom almost 4,000 years ago but was reused during the late period.

Ancient Egyptians mummified humans to preserve their bodies for the afterlife, while animal mummies were used as offerings of affections.

Egyptian archaeologists have moved the cover of an intact sarcophagus inside Tomb TT33 in Luxor, containing the “perfectly intact” 3,000-year-old woman discovered last week.

WHAT IS EGYPT’S VALLEY OF THE KINGS?

The Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt is one of the country’s main tourist attractions and is the famous burial ground of many pharaohs.

It is located near the ancient city of Luxor on the banks of the River Nile in eastern Egypt – 300 miles (500km) away from the pyramids of Giza, near Cairo.

The majority of the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, rested in the tombs which were cut into the local rock.

The royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues as to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period.

The final tombs were constructed between the 16th and 11th centuries BC. Those buried in the Valley of the Kings include Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Pharaoh Ramesses II, Pharaoh Seti I, and Pharaoh Amenhotep II.

The burial chamber of Pharaoh Thutmose III was discovered by Victor Loret in 1898, though it has since filled with debris.

The tombs were constructed and decorated by the Pharaoh’s workers under the order of the Pharaohs themselves.

The majority of the pharaohs from the 18th to the 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, were buried in the tombs that were cut into the local rock. Sculptures of goddesses are stationed at the site.

Almost all of the tombs were opened and looted centuries ago, but the sites still give an idea of the opulence and power of the Pharaohs.

The most famous pharaoh at the site is Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered in 1922.

Preceding this day, in the tombs are original decorations of sacred imagery from various mythologies, among others, the Book of Gates or the Book of Caverns.

These are among the most important funerary texts found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs.
