No one did tombs like the ancient Egyptians, and archaeologists have just discovered three new ones in northeast Egypt, all more than 2,000 years old.
The finds are set to provide experts with a treasure trove of new artefacts, including bones, clay fragments, and even several sarcophagi of differing sizes that will shed more light on how the people of the area both lived and died.
An analysis of the clay fragments puts the date of the burials in these tombs in a period of time stretching for several centuries, between the the 27th Dynasty (525 to 404 BC) and the Graeco-Roman era (332 BC to 395 AD).
