A mummy of a woman found almost perfectly preserved inside a coffin in Egypt dating back more than 3,000 years was unveiled today.
The ancient coffin, called a sarcophagus, was one of two discovered in El-Asasef, Luxor, on the bank of the River Nile. And today authorities had for the first time opened a previously unopened sarcophagus before international media. “One sarcophagus was rishi-style, which dates back to the 17th dynasty, while the other sarcophagus was from the 18th dynasty.
