Thousands of years after their era has come to end, Pharaohs’ legacy still embraces people’s minds with new discoveries. The Ministry of Antiquities announced discovering a cemetery that dates back to the Late Period, with 17 mummies buried in Al-Minya, Upper Egypt. The mummies are reported to be non-royal, as El-Kholi described them. Buried aside the mummies, two papyruses were found written in Demotic, with a gold sheet which to be transferred to the Grand Egyptian Museum for restoration before they are displayed to public. At their excavation process, the team found a number of Roman funerary houses carved in clay, in which they also found a collection of different coins, lamps, and other domestic collection unearthed.
