4,300-year-old mummy wrapped in gold found buried in sand
Archaeologists have unearthed a 4,300-year-old mummy wrapped in gold beneath the sands of Egypt. It has been claimed to be the oldest mummy ever found. The name of the mummy is 'Hekasheps'. It was found in a sarcophagus made of limestone at a depth of 50 feet. Statues of women have also been found by men during mining. The discovery is part of a group of tombs of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasty, 30 kilometers from the capital Cairo. Zahi Hawass, an Egyptologist, said that unfortunately no such inscription has been found, so that the names of these idols can be identified. In the 1970s, the ruins of Mephine were included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Two shafts have been discovered at the site. In one of these the remains of Hekasheps were found. The second was 30 feet deep, in which other tombs and many sculptures were found.
