New Discovery in Cairo

Giant discovery in Egypt: a cemetery 2,000 years ago. The bizarre inscription found in one of the graves

• Archaeologists have discovered a cemetery that dates back 2,000 years ago.
  In the necropolis, which was built during the Ptolemy Dynasty, 2,000 years ago, Egyptologists have already found 8 graves, but they may still identify others.

• There were more sarcophagi in each tomb, so 40 mummies were found in the 8 graves excavated so far. The funeral complex is in southern Cairo, writes Science Alert.

• 

• One of the tombs belongs to a priest of the god Thoth, the god in the form of ibis. The priest was called Djehuty-Irdy-Es and was the official title of "One of the Five Great", awarded only to the most important priests of the Thoth god.

• More than 13 sarcophagi were found in this tomb, probably from the members of the priest's family.

• 

• Archaeologists have found more than 1,000 statues and various objects in the tombs containing hieroglyphic inscriptions.

• Some help the Egyptologists to identify the people buried there, and others are simply bizarre. For example, a necklace discovered here contains the wish "A Happy New Year."
