Human remains with golden tongues have been found during the discovery of two tombs from the Sai period in ancient Egypt, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said, quoted by BTA.
The discovery at the archeological site of El Bahnasa in the southern Egyptian region of Minya was made during excavations conducted by an expedition of the Institute for Ancient Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Barcelona in Spain.
The remains of two people with golden tongues were found at the entrance to the first tomb, and a large sarcophagus with a lid in the shape of a woman’s body was found inside. Initial research shows that the tomb was opened and looted in ancient times.
The second tomb, which is adjacent to the first, is intact and completely closed, said excavation leader Prof. Hassan Amer of the Faculty of Archeology at Cairo University. A limestone sarcophagus with a lid in the shape of a man’s body and two niches containing vessels for storing the inside of the mummy, called hemp, as well as several hundred ceramic burial figurines (ushebti), amulets and beads were found in it.
Archaeologists believe the two tombs hold more secrets that future research will reveal. We are yet to learn more about the golden tongues. Since the beginning of the expedition to El Bahnasa in 1992, many valuable artifacts from the 26th dynasty of Ancient Egypt between 664-525 BC, known as the Sai period, as well as the Greco-Roman and Coptic periods, have been discovered. .
