They Should have left what they found , BURIED!!
Look What They Dug Up in an Oasis!
They number in the dozens, these brightly painted mummies that are as much as 4,000 years old. Archaeologists working in an Egyptian oasis uncovered an ancient Egypt burial chamber containing 53 rock-hewn tombs that date to the Middle Kingdom, from 2061 to 1786 B.C.
"Four of the mummies date back to the 22nd Dynasty (931 to 725 BC) and are considered some of the most beautiful mummies found," Zahi Hawass, Egypt's antiquities chief, told Agence France Presse. The mummies, all of which were wrapped in linen, were brightly painted in the traditional ancient Egyptian colors of turquoise, terracotta and gold.
Discovered near the Ilahun pyramid in Fayoum oasis south of Cairo, the necropolis also contained 15 painted masks, a Middle Kingdom funerary chapel with an offering table, amulets and clay pots.
I really have a bad feeling about this Discovery!!!
