Egypt Has Unearthed 160 Ancient Coffins Since September. Some Were Sealed With a 'Curse'
Archaeologists have discovered 160 human coffins at the site over the last three months, which they plan to disperse to museums around Egypt. They even opened a few to examine the mummies inside.
According to experts, some of the Saqqara tombs have colourful curses inscribed on the walls to warn away intruders.
Salima Ikram, an Egyptologist at the American University in Cairo, analysed some animal mummies discovered at Saqqara last year.
She told Business Insider in an email that the inscribed warnings in human tombs mostly serve to deter trespassers intent on desecrating the mummies' resting places.
