A group of

scientists

has decided to send a robot to investigate an area of ​​the Great Pyramid that has not been accessed before. Inside a room known as the Queen's chamber, behind a false wall is a narrow shaft that rises at a 40-degree angle towards the pyramid. For years, archaeologists have been dying to know what could be up there, but they couldn't reach it without damaging the shaft. In 2010, a Robotics professor in Leeds decided to get involved. His small wheeled robot armed with a camera was able to successfully navigate the narrow passageways, the robot revealed a small hidden chamber with intricate red markings on the walls.

He also discovered a second blocking stone that he couldn't get past. Now what lies beyond that second stone that we may never know is number 15. archeology 3,400-year-old walkway restored near Luxor Egyptian authorities have recently inaugurated a renovated 3,400-year-old walkway called The Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor.

These people turned Egypt into one of the greatest civilizations in human history and this is their ancient resting place and some of them are the ones that have just been discovered underwater despite having been buried in a desert, The ancient Egyptians went through a lot of trouble to plan and build this burial chamber so that it would be inaccessible to looters number 12. The mystery behind the two baby mummies in King Tut's tomb When the Toon Commons tomb was discovered in 1922, they found the mummies of two babies that until now researchers had not discovered. I don't know who they were or why they were there, apparently the babies could have been twins despite their great difference in size.

Genetic analysis of the babies has shown that both babies were stillborn, one at 25 weeks gestation and the other at 37 weeks from birth. Most likely, they were born into the great royal life Anki Sanam, who was the half-sister of the young king. It should be no surprise that these babies had many medical problems; ofIn fact, King Tut himself had many serious health problems, as did his parents. His brothers also had a cleft palate, clubfoot and a genetic bone disease. At the time of his reign, the royal lineage was considered a manifestation of God on Earth, meaning they could do pretty much whatever they wanted and marrying his sister was one of those things.

But that freedom did not come without consequences, it was discovered through DNA testing that the babies were female and also had several severe deformities.

Queen Nefertiti's mummy discovered Nefertiti, her fascinating name still resonates today. The royal wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten and mother of King Tut is, along with Cleopatra, one of the most famous queens of ancient Egypt. Many theories have been formulated about the location of her tomb and her mother, but none have yet been confirmed or are foreign. The famous Egyptologist Zahi Hase announced that he had found Nefertiti's mummy. According to him, the Queen's mummy was discovered in 1817.

That year, an explorer and Egyptologist Giovanni Batista Belzoni discovered a tomb called kv- On January 21 in the Valley of the Kings he discovered two mummies but could not identify them. They are still unknown today, but Zahihoas is confident that thanks to modern technologies he believes that he will soon be able to reveal the identity of the two mummies, namely Nefertiti and her daughter Anki Sonaman. In a nearby tomb kv-35, the mummy of a 10-year-old boy was also found. If this boy is the brother of Tutankhamun and son of Akhenaten, the problem posed by Nefertiti will be solved.

Number seven, 30 mummies, including a 2,000-year-old mother with her child in her arms. An Egyptian tomb, a major discovery made in the southeast of the country, has been announced by the Ministry of Antiquities in Egypt. They unearthed 30 mummies, all dated to at least 2,000 years old. The mummies include babies, children and adults, and were all found in an intricate network of underground burial chambers, they also found a room full of items associated with ancient burial practices.

This new find is expected to teach us a lot about the ancient Egyptian Empire during a crucial period of historical change. Among the most intriguing preserved bodies is that of A mummified mother and child were extracted still covered in painted cartonnage, which is a type of mummy covering made up of pieces of linen or papyrus glued together. They also found a well-preserved figurine of a bird representing the soul of a deceased person. It was believed that she flew out of the Tomb to join the afterlife. The site is located at s Swan, which was once an important border post on the Nubian border.

Back then it was called swanette. There are several dozen burial sites at this location, all of very different historical origins.

Sarcophagus number six of Egypt, mysterious black tomb opened in Alexandria in July 2018, archaeologists found a huge black granite in Alexandria. Sarcophagus that had remained intact for 2000 years. If we know anything about mysterious coffins in Egypt, they should return it immediately or horrible things will never fall on them. Performance Jokes Apart from the fact that they opened the black sarcophagus, they did not find an ancient curse. but the skeletons of three people and reddish sewage that apparently gave off a horrible stench, in fact, at first they opened the lid of the coffin only five centimeters, but when the pungent smell came out, everyone present had to leave the inspection site.

Completely imagine that the three buried individuals are believed to be soldiers, as one of the skulls has marks indicating an arrow wound. It could also be a family burial, but it is difficult to say as the mummies were not in the best condition and only the bones remain later. The day waziri jokingly said, we opened it and thank God the world has not fallen into darkness number five. The tombs of ancient Egypt were filled with snacks. The ancient Egyptians believed that death was an extension of life and therefore had many of the same demands. This is why the tombs of royal members such as Pharaoh Tooten Commons were filled with preserved foods, such as poultry meat and dates from which the seeds were removed for the young king's pleasure.

They packed enough snacks for their ruler to have a great time in the afterlife. Enough for a King Tut mega party. He lived approximately between 1342 and 1325 BC. C. and when they found his tomb in 1922, they extracted exactly 5,398 items from it, including Thrones, archery bows, trumpets, a lotus chalice, copious amounts of food, wine and beer, sandals and underwear of fresh linen. They also found a camping bed that folds up so they could get even on one of their desert getaways. Basically, the ancient Egyptians were obsessed with life, they knew that death was inevitable, so they wanted to have a better future life.

Their tombs were careful preparations for eternity. and you always have to have it a snack number four shabti dolls from ancient Egypt we have all seen them. Shabties are generally mom-shaped figures approximately 5 to 30 centimeters long found in various ancient Egyptian tombs. They are usually made of blue or green glazed feyans, but some are made of stone. Wood, clay, metal and glass have also been found. He does not remember the meaning of the name shabti. A possible translation answers the beginning. They represent their owners. The ancient Egyptians believed that without a functional body you could not survive in the afterlife.

That is why they mummified their deceased, but in case something happened to the body, the shabtis could act as a substitute, thus guaranteeing the eternal life of their Masters. Due to this very intimate relationship, a person was only buried with one or two shabtis, but eventually these figurines became more of a servant for the afterlife and began to be made with tools to serve their Master. It was believed that they responded to their masters to work in the afterlife. In this period, a person could be buried with hundreds of shabti. Researchers number three discover that an ancient Egyptian mummy was pregnant.

Discovered by a team of Polish scientists, this is the only known example of an embalmed pregnant mummy. This project began in 2015 and set out to use cutting-edge technology to examine artifacts housed in the national museum in Warsaw. Interestingly, it was previously thought that this mummy could be a priest, but instead they discovered what is possibly a high-status woman in the late stages of her pregnancy. Most likely she was between 20 and 30 years old and she died in the 1st century BC. using the circumference of the fetus's head. established that it was between 26 and 30 weeks that the mother died for unknown reasons the fetus had not been removed from the womb it is not clear why it was not removed and cleaned normally the fetus would have been embalmed separately perhaps spiritual beliefs about the afterlife or The physical difficulty of removal played a big factor number two.

A mysterious cave on the edge of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Many people have noticed this strange anomaly on the outside of the Great Pyramid located in its northeast corner. It looks like a platform or an entrance to the pyramid, well Egyptologist Bob Breyer thought this was worthy of investigation, so he explored it in a television documentary called the Pyramid of Khufu and revealed that he climbed the pyramid until he reached the strange anomaly there he found some sort of platform from which you could stand in the view. From above it is quite impressive where the north and east sides of the monument meet.

There was also a cavity that had clearly been visited before because there was old graffiti on the walls, but I could no longer investigate without removing some of the older stones. Tattoo found on 5,000-year-old Egyptian mummies. We know that tattoos are a very ancient tradition in many places around the world, but we had no idea that people 5,000 years ago were already getting tattoos. They found two mummies that have what is believed to be the oldest. Figurative Tattoos in the World The tattoos are of a wild bull and a Barbary sheep on the upper arm of a male mummy and the others are four S-shaped motifs on the upper arm and shoulder of a woman.

It also has a motif that is believed to represent staffs used in ritual dances. This new discovery set back the practice of this art in Africa a thousand years. They probably use soot as a pigment and the designs are under the skin. Researchers believe that these images may have denoted status, bravery and magical powers of these two. The individuals were not mummified and their graves were not marked, but their bodies were perfectly preserved thanks to the heat, salinity and aridity of the desert.
