The Valley of the Golden Mummies and a wealth of knowledge about our ancient past
In 1996, an astonishing discovery was made in Egypt. Archaeologists uncovered a two-square-mile necropolis that contained a number of important tombs. Upon the first excavation, four of the tombs were found to contain 105 well-preserved mummies, many of them containing elaborate golden masks; hence the cemetery came to be known as ‘Valley of the Golden Mummies’. The initial discovery was believed to be just the tip of the iceberg, however, as it is thought that there may be up to 10,000 mummies lying within the cemetery.
