(Kiến Thức) - Các nhà khảo vừa phát hiện ra các ngôi mộ cổ còn nguyên vẹn của bốn đứa trẻ Ai Cập cổ đại, tất cả đều được cho là dưới 10 tuổi.

  • In one grave, they discovered the body of a child aged 6-9 years old (pictured), buried with several burial goods. The archaeologists found 10 ceramic items, including beer jars, wine vessels, plates, and bowls, bronze bracelets, and a bronze razor
  • Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered the ancient, intact graves of four children, all thought to be under the age of 10
  • One of the burials contains the remains of a child aged just 2-3 years old (pictured) at the time of death. The toddler was found surrounded by rocks, with bits of the linen wrappings and organic material from the wooden coffin still remaining
  • One grave in particular (pictured) stands out from the rest, with evidence that the child was buried ‘without any care.’ The experts noted what could be several signs of sickness, though the exact cause of death is unknown. The child also showed more signs of injury
  • The grave of the fourth child was covered in quarry spoil, and appeared to have no immediate relation to the others, as shown above
  • Inside some of graves, the researchers also found a number of artifacts, including amulets, bracelets, and pottery
  • Researchers with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and Sweden’s Lund University announced the discovery this week, revealing remarkable new insight on the burial practices of the 18th Dynasty. They found scarabs, such as the one above
  • While parts of the coffins remained preserved over the years, much of the material was destroyed over the years by floods, insects, and other natural factors. In the case of the buried toddler, for example, much of the linens and coffin had been eaten away by termites
  • One of the bodies was buried with artifacts including a bronze razor, pictured above
  • One of the scarabs contained a royal name from the dynasty
  • The child burials were found during excavations at Gebel el-Silsila, which was once a quarry site during the Thutmosid period, from roughly 1493 BCE to 1401
