9. Head Cone Mystery
Strange cone-shaped hats are a common feature of ancient Egyptian artwork of all types, showing their use in rituals, feasts, and even childbirth. The hats’ repeated appearances span a lengthy period, indicating that they were used for over 1,000 years.
8. Empty Coffin Surprise
An Egyptian sarcophagus discovered in 1860 was mistakenly classified as empty and sat untouched, at a university museum in Sydney, Australia for over 150 years! It is 2,500 years old, and recently scientists decided to take another look. In 2018, scientists opened the lid for the first time and discovered the tattered remains of a mummy inside.
7. Golden-Tongued Mummy
Earlier this year, a team of Egyptian and Dominican archaeologists announced the discovery of a 2,000-year-old mummy at Taposiris Magna, an ancient Egyptian city in modern-day Alexandria that has temples dedicated to the god Osiris and the goddess Isis, who was both his sister and wife. While mummies are being discovered left and right, the strange thing about this one was that this one had a large tongue made of gold!
6. Mummified Animals
In 2018, archaeologists discovered a trove of mummified animals at the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, a vast burial ground near what is now Cairo. The cache consists of hundreds of artifacts dating back roughly 2,600 years to Egypt’s 26th Dynasty, including masks, statues, and the mummified remains of cats, cobras, crocodiles, birds, and two lion cubs, amounting to at least 75 animals.
5. Misidentified Mud Mummy
Archaeologists recently described the only known ancient Egyptian mummy wrapped in a carapace, or shell, made of hardened mud. Dating back roughly 3,400 years to 1207 B.C., this one-of-a-kind female mummy was damaged after death and was found in the wrong coffin mis-identifying it as a woman named Meruah or Meru(t)ah.
4. Extinct Goose
Experts have determined that three geese depicted in the artwork of an ancient Egyptian tomb belonging to Nefermaat I and his wife Itet represent an extinct species, offering a rare glimpse of an animal that no longer exists. Dating back some 4,600 years, the painting, a famous piece of artwork called “Meidum Geese” and nicknamed the “Mona Lisa of Egypt,” features a real creature, unlike many ancient Egyptian depictions of mythical deities and animals.
3. Stacked Coffins
Last September, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of 13 wooden coffins dating back to 500 B.C. at the vast Saqqara necropolis, located roughly 20 miles (32 km) south of modern-day Cairo. The remains are surprisingly well-preserved -- pristine, according to scientists -- despite being over 2,500 years old. They were in such good condition, some of the colors painted on the coffins were still visible.
2. Doomsday Prediction
The tomb of Khentkaus III, a queen from Egypt’s Old Kingdom whose husband, Pharaoh Neferefre (aka Reneferef) ruled around 4,500 years ago, allegedly contains an ominous doomsday prediction in the form of climate change evidence. The finding, which was announced last November, is helping to fill in some gaps in what Professor Miroslav Barta calls “a black patch in the history of the Old Kingdom.”
1. The Hyksos’ Origins
Ancient Egypt is not often thought of as a multicultural melting pot, despite periods of rulership by different societies. But the plain and simple truth is that the region was more diverse than it is often given credit for.
