Archaeologists uncover 17 mummies in Egyptian necropolis
At least 17 mummies were unearthed from an ancient burial site near Egypt's Nile valley city of Minya by an archaeological mission, the country's antiquities minister said. The well-preserved mummies, not yet dated, are believed to belong to a 600-year period following Egypt's conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, according to a Cairo University Professor.
