The sarcophagus drew a lot of attention as it was claimed that such work of art is only possible through laser technology. The circulating picture showed a stone sarcophagus of Minister Jimenvirbak of the 26th dynasty that ruled Egypt between the sixth and seventh centuries BC. Accordingly, the age of the statue cannot be more than 2,700 years, and not 4,000 as was stated on social media posts. As confirmed by Sherif al-Saifi, a researcher specializing in Egyptology, the sarcophagus is not made of granite, but rather of diorite, which is harder and more solid than granite. This carved sarcophagus is on display in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy.
