A team of archaeologists has found a piece of a long-lost sarcophagus belonging to ancient Egypt’s most powerful pharaoh, more than 3,000 years after his death.

Scientists re-examined the granite artifact that was found in 2009 inside a Coptic building in Abydos, an ancient city in east-central Egypt.

The research team was led by archaeologists Ayman Al-Damrani and Kevin Cahill, and they concluded that the coffin carried two people at different times.

The research team was able to identify Menkheperre, the “high priest of the Twenty-First Dynasty” who lived in 1000 BC, according to a translated statement from the French National Center for Scientific Research.

On Tuesday, Egyptian security services in Cairo were able to arrest a “tuk-tuk “driver for making immoral movements while a woman was riding with him in Old Cairo.

The incident began when the Old Egypt Police in the Cairo Security Directorate received a report from a woman suffering from a crack in her facial bone and left humerus.

The woman reported in her report that while she was riding a tuk-tuk on her way back from work, the driver made indecent movements, and when she asked him to stop so she could get out, the driver refused to stop, forcing her to jump out of the vehicle while it was moving, which led to her injury.

After investigations, the driver was identified and arrested. He admitted to committing the incident, and the necessary legal measures were taken against him, and he was referred to the Public Prosecution.
