Watch: Ancient Egyptian mummy coffin is opened for the first time in 2,500 years
Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities hosted an event to unveil the first of 59 sealed tombs in Saqarra, near Memphis.
Honoured to be invited by the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities HE Khaled El Anany to Saqqara for the announcement that a new tomb of mummies has been discovered. I saw one being opened for the first time in 2600 years! Truly amazing! @TourismandAntiq @MFATNZ 🇪🇬🇳🇿 pic.twitter.com/5oLfAM7zAV
