Archaeologists in Egypt have announced the completion of their 6th excavation season at the Saqqara necropolis. Not only did they find human tombs filled with artifacts and painted hieroglyphs, but they also discovered workshops where animals were prepared for mummification. Mr. Ahmed Issa, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Archaeology, announced at an international press conference that the discoveries were made at a new archaeological site in the Saqqara Archaeology zone, which is located about 30 kilometers (18 miles) south of Cairo.
