Archaeologists have finished excavating the City of the Dead
A creepy name: "City of the Dead". But it reflects the essence of the settlement. Archaeologists have finished excavating the city, where 100 thousand mummies were discovered. Details of the excavations In Aswan, Egypt, they have finished excavating the City of the Dead. According to preliminary data, more than 100 mummies were discovered. All these people were buried for 1,500 years. In a small area, scientists discovered 300 tombs. They contained 100 thousand mummies. This place was used from the 4th century BC to the 9th century AD. Examination of the burials allows us to form an opinion about the significance of the city as a trade and military center. Representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt stated that at least 35-36 mummies were buried in each burial. Examination of the deceased and the burials themselves allows us to understand how people lived at that time. You can get an idea of the customs of that time. Archaeologist of the University of Milan Patricia Piacenzini pointed out that goods from the south were transported through the city. This allows us to conclude that the settlement was an important trading hub. Representatives of different cultures intersected here. First finds In 2019, archaeologists found a burial consisting of 4 people. Apparently, these are representatives of the same family. They were buried more than 2 thousand years ago. Continuing excavations made it possible to understand the hierarchy of the branch of power. Representatives of the authorities were buried on the top of the hill. Offerings and various products were found in the tombs. Including ceramics. Archaeologists said that some of the mummies and the found products will be exhibited in museums. Most of the mummies will be reburied. Archaeologists do not rob. Almost all the deceased were reburied. This applies not only to those mummies that were discovered during the said excavations. Scientists bury the deceased they found. Thus, the 5-year excavations of the City of the Dead are over. The mummies have been reburied. The artifacts have been sent for research. After the analysis, conclusions will be made. Scientists will be able to understand the essence of the trade relations of that time. In addition, an analysis of the hierarchical relationships between the inhabitants of the region at that time will be conducted. The influence of various cultures on the formation of the customs of the indigenous population will be assessed. ***************** I will continue to talk about such topics.
