Archaeologists unveil ancient Luxor tomb, open closed coffin for first time
A previously unopened sarcophagus was opened for the first time on Saturday (November 24) as two Egyptian discoveries were unveiled in Luxor's west bank. The intact sarcophagus contained a well preserved mummy of a woman named Thuya and dates to the 18th Egyptian dynasty.
It was discovered earlier this month by a French led mission in the northern region of El-Assasif, along with another anthropoid sarcophagus which was opened and examined.
Earlier in the day a tomb belonging to Thaw Rakht If, the overseer of the mummification shrine, was unveiled along with 1000 small wooden and clay statues, and five coloured masks.
Three-hundred metres of rubble was removed over five months to uncover the tomb, which contains coloured wall scenes depicting the owner and his family. The tomb dates back to the middle-kingdom almost 4000 years ago, but was reused during the alte period.
Ancient Egyptians mummified humans to preserve their bodies for the afterlife, while animal mummies were used as religious offerings. So far Egypt has revealed over a dozen ancient discoveries this year.
Egypt is hoping these discoveries will brighten its image abroad and revive interest among travellers who once flocked to its iconic pharaonic temples and pyramids but who have shunned the country since its 2011 political uprising.
Scientists Have Just Discovered Two Secret Rooms Hidden Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid Of Giza in Egypt is one of the most amazing structures on Earth. This massive structure is made of stones that weight hundreds and thousands of pounds. Because heavy machinery wasn't around in ancient Egypt, we can only assume that the pyramid was built with human hands. This is pretty amazing. Archaeologists from all over the world have been studying the pyramid for hundreds of years. Because this pyramid has been studied by experts so many times, it is pretty amazing that scientists have just discovered two secret rooms hidden inside the Great Pyramid Of Giza. How is it possible that they remained hidden until now?
It is believed that it took between 10 and 20 years to build the pyramid, which was completed around 2560 BC. When it was first built, the pyramid stood at 480-feet high. For over 3,800 years, it was the biggest construction project ever taken on by man. The pyramid is said to have been the final resting place of a Fourth Dynasty pharaoh named Khufu. Ancient Egyptians knew the pyramid as Khufu's Horizon back then. It is surrounded by three smaller pyramids which were tributes to Khufu's wives. The Great Pyramid Of Giza is the best preserved of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Since the 19th century, Egyptologists have been studying the Great Pyramid. It was always believed that the pyramid had three chambers. The first chamber is a work in progress that was carved out in rock below the main part of the construction. The second and third chambers are enormous, and they are known as the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber. The King's Chamber is the largest of the two. It is 35-feet by 17-feet. It has a flat room that is over 19-feet tall. The Queen's Chamber is just under 19-feet by 17-feet. It has a pointed roof that is about 20-feet high. The Grand Gallery connects them. It is a passageway that is about 28-feet high and over 150-feet long.
A recent discovery has revealed that there is more to the interior of the pyramid than initially thought. It was discovered during a pioneering project called the Scan Pyramids program, which was led by teams from the Cairo University and the Heritage, Innovation, and Preservation Institute in Paris. The project began in October 2016, and using the latest scientific techniques; they revealed two mysterious anomalies in the pyramid.
One of the new findings was discovered on the northern wall of the pyramid. The researchers working on the project believe that there is a hidden corridor that extends into the central part of the pyramid. The team installed 12 muon-detecting plates in 2016, and they are hoping that this will help them learn more about their discovery.
The second anomaly that was discovered is located on the northeast face of the pyramid. The researchers believe that there is a void that extends deep into the pyramid. They don't think that there is a connection between the two cavities; however, their research is still in the very early stages.
While the new discoveries are fascinating, the way that they made the discoveries is even more incredible. They used cosmic rays to find out more about the inside of the pyramid. Cosmic rays are incredibly high-energy radiation, often from beyond our solar system. When the rays hit atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they create subatomic particles that are called muons. Around 10,000 muons per square meter per minute come into contact with the Earth. They are very useful for scientists. The muons can travel through matter, similar to an x-ray but much better. The researchers at the pyramid are using specialized equipment to see how the muons pass through solid objects such as the stone of the Great Pyramid.
The researchers left the detectors in place for 67 days so that they could receive and record the muons. The results from the detectors were sent to Nagoya University in Japan which was where the anomalies were discovered.
According to the Ministry of State of Antiquities in Egypt, more work needs to be done before we get any real answers. They believe that it will be irresponsible to jump to conclusions without more research.
So far, without the necessary research, the experts still don't know what to think about the discovery. The anomalies could be simply the differences between the sizes in the stones that were used to build the pyramids. It could also be new rooms that we never knew existed. Only time will tell.
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo; Ancient Egyptian Antiquities
The Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt. Egypt travel attractions and destinations to reveal with us.
Traveling to Egypt is all about visiting the museums, the Pyramids, the old places, as well as getting the chance to walk through the streets, eat the Egyptian food, enjoy a day by the Nile, and at the same time give yourself the chance to get introduced to the nightlife of this city.
From the most famous Egyptian touristic attractions, the Egyptian Museum is on top of the list, through which you will see the historical Pharaonic pieces. The Egyptian Museum is in Tahrir square, which is considered the middle of the city, Cairo, and thus you will not just enjoy watching the old gems, but will also get the chance to see the old Egypt.
The Egyptian museum is famously called the Museum of Egypt المتحف المصري and it carries a good amount of Egyptian ancient antiquities, about 120,000 items; some of them are already on display while others are kept in store rooms.
This is a must see and visit place during the trip to Egypt because there are different stories to hear inside about the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Egyptian civilization. You might even love the stories that you just wish you could visit the place once again and go through the same things millions of times.
The most important thing about the Egyptian museum in Cairo is to never miss the hall of the mummies in order to see the superior quality of the life that the ancient Egyptians used to live and have an evidence for that.
The moment you enter the Egyptian museum, you will feel that you have been taken and transformed to the old age due to the sculptures that are found inside and the different things you will get the chance to see.
A lot of Egyptian artwork and Egyptian artifacts to come across in this place. We recommend that you either get a trustworthy tour guide who could help you with knowing more about the place and getting the chance to reveal all the stories, or else bring yourself a book or an article from the internet that will help you to know as much as possible, but never wander the place just watching; read everything that is written there.
There are audio guides which you could buy from the kiosk in front of the foyer for 20 EGP and which will be very useful as your guide inside.
There's great history behind this place, not just the Egyptian artifacts, but the mummies, the masks, and actually everything about this place shows how the Egyptians were so good when it came to living like real kings and queens.
We recommend that you take your water with you because it is a little bit hot inside and you might find nowhere to bring yourself water inside during the journey. We also recommend that you take something that will tell you more about the artifacts there because some don't have label and you might find yourself standing in front of something you know nothing about.
Egypt history is like no other place in the world, this country of peace carries a lot to tell the world and the Egyptian museum is where the story starts. The grand Egyptian museum will tell you about the 7 thousand years of history that this country carried and that is the reason why it is considered one of the most important museums to visit in the world.
The Egyptian museum working hours are everyday from 9 AM until 7 PM. The Egyptian museum entrance fee differ according to what you are going to see inside; general admission is for 30 EGP for non-Egyptians, the royal mummies room is for 100 EGP, the centennial gallery for 10 EGP, and all these are reduced by half if you are a student.
Cameras are not allowed inside the place and you will be checked for that by the gates, so you will never get the chance to take photos inside and keep the memory of seeing those artifacts with you. You could only take photos from the outside to prove that you have been there and visited this important museum of Egypt.
This place is so famous, you will be able to reach it by taxi, by the metro, or even by the other transportation tools - but we don't recommend any other way than these two.
The Nile is only five minutes walk away from the Egyptian Museum so you could go for a walk there after you get done with your trip in the museum. There are different things to do in Egypt in general and a lot of things to see, so always plan to see as much as your stay allows you to.
When you visit Egypt, you should plan to visit Muhammad Ali Mosque
You should also visit The National Museum of Egypt
You should give yourself the chance to go to a tour through the Pharaonic Village
And even go to Al Moez street
EGYPT: Pyramids & Sphinx - Giza (near Cairo)
The Giza Plateau in Egypt includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers' village. The pyramids of Giza and others are thought to have been constructed to house the remains of the deceased Pharaohs who ruled over Ancient Egypt. The people of Ancient Egypt believed that death on Earth was the start of a journey to the next world. The Plateau is located in Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, and is elevated approximately 60 meters above sea-level.
Impression of the original Giza Plateau:
_______________________________
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years until Lincoln Cathedral was finished in 1311 AD.
Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base.
Today tourists enter the Great Pyramid via the Robbers' Tunnel, a tunnel purportedly created around AD 820 by Caliph al-Ma'mun's workmen using a battering ram. The tunnel is cut straight through the masonry of the pyramid for approximately 27 metres (89 ft), then turns sharply left to encounter the blocking stones in the Ascending Passage. Unable to remove these stones the workmen tunnelled up beside them through the softer limestone of the Pyramid until they reached the Ascending Passage. It is possible to enter the Descending Passage from this point, but access is usually forbidden.
Khufu’s pyramid complex has three smaller queen's pyramids and five boat pits. The boat pits contained a ship, and the 2 pits on the south side of the pyramid still contained intact full-size ships. One of these ships has been restored and is on display at the foot of the pyramide in the Giza Solar boat museum. Like other buried Ancient Egyptian ships, it was apparently part of the extensive grave goods intended for use in the afterlife, and contained no bodies, unlike northern European ship burials.

Pyramids in 360° (CNN):
_______________________________
The Pyramid of Khafre or Chephren is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled from c.2558 to 2532 BC. It rises up to a height of 136.4 metres (448 ft). Khafre's pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu's pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller.
_______________________________
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main Pyramids of Giza, with an original height of 65.5 meters (215 feet). It now stands at 61 m (204 ft) tall. It is thought to have been built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure. The pyramid's date of construction is unknown, because Menkaure's reign has not been accurately defined, but it was probably completed in the 26th century BC.
_______________________________
The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Cut from the bedrock, the original shape of the Sphinx has been restored with layers of blocks. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt. It is impossible to identify what name the creators called their statue, as the Great Sphinx does not appear in any known inscription of the Old Kingdom and there are no inscriptions anywhere describing its construction or its original purpose.
_______________________________
The new Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. Part of the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo will be moved to the new museum, set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.

Egypt: Archaeologists unveil 4,500-y.o. burial ground near Giza pyramids
Egypt has announced the discovery of a 4,500-year old burial ground near the Giza pyramids, on the outskirts of Cairo, Saturday, containing limestone statues and wooden coffins dating back to the Old Kingdom.
The site, which is located on the southeastern side of the Giza plateau, reportedly includes burial shafts and tombs from different periods, including an ancient limestone tomb of two priests from the fifth dynasty (around 2,500 BC).
The tomb is believed to belong to persons called Behnui-Ka, titled as the priest and the judge during the Old Kingdom, and Nwi, who held the title of 'the purifier' of King Khafre.
Footage shows a number of artefacts, funerary masks and wooden coffins with hieroglyphics, which according to the Egyptian antiquities ministry date back to the Late Period.
According to Director General of the Giza Plateau Ashraf Mohi, the cemetery was reused during the Late Period.
