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.

Archaeologists have discovered the world’s oldest preserved wine, dating back about two thousand years, in a Roman cemetery in the city of Carmona in southern Spain.
The Journal of Archaeological Science reported that in 2019, scientists found this ancient wine in a Roman cemetery in the city of Carmona in southern Spain, in a jar about two thousand years old, during restoration and maintenance work on a house in the region.
The magazine explained, “The discovery of a jar about two thousand years old containing a reddish-colored liquid in 2019 in a Roman cemetery in the city of Carmona, southern Spain, was very exceptional and unexpected, and the archaeological-chemical study of the liquid showed that it is the oldest wine preserved in a liquid state.
The researchers pointed out that the chemical composition of the discovered ancient Roman wine is not much different from the wine currently produced in southern Spain, which reflects the continuity of traditions and flavors over the centuries.
