The news broke on 6 Sep on the Ministry’s Facebook page, but it’s taken a while for the English speaking online media to notice it:

27 Unopened Sarcophagi Discovered In an Ancient Egyptian Necropolis

Archaeologists have discovered a total of 27 sealed sarcophagi that date back some 2,500 years at an ancient necropolis south of Cairo in recent weeks, according to Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Saqqara is now an emerging hotspot for archaeologists as recent excavations have uncovered incredible new artifacts, including dozens of 4,500-year-old cat mummies and millions of mummified dogs. Ornate tombs containing the bodies of high-profile people have also been discovered in the necropolis over the past few years.

The identities of the bodies inside the newly excavated sarcophagi are not known at this time, but Al-Anani and his colleagues expect to reveal new details about the artifacts in the coming days and weeks, according to the ministry’s announcement.

Sure, the “identities” are not known, but if I were forced to bet, I’d say they were people who, when making their burial arrangements, were not intending to be dug up 2500 years later.
