Egyptian archeologists have unearthed more than two dozen ancient coffins in a vast necropolis south of Cairo, an official said on Sept. 21.
The sarcophagi have remained unopened since they were buried more than 2,500 years ago near the famed Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, said Neveine el-Arif, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
