2,000-Year-Old Egyptian Mummy Workshop and Goldmine of Treasures Unearthed in Saqqara
A team of Egyptian-German Archeologists announced to the world’s media yesterday that their recent dig in Saqqara, Egypt, led to the unearthing of “a rare mummification workshop containing mummies and sarcophagi.” And among the buried treasures was a “silver face mask gilded with gold dating back to between 664 BC and 404 BC,” a press statement said.
Mummies have haunted popular culture since Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, but early cinema had installed the whole idea of a “mummy’s curse” in the human psyche. Boris Karloff starred in the 1932 movie The Mummy and the 1999 movie The Mummy and its sequel The Mummy Returns, breathed air into the trend of giant mummies being controlled by tormented, vengeful spirits caught somewhere between life and death.

Mask of Precious Metals
Yesterday, Ramadan Badry Hussein, head of the Egyptian-German team, from the University of Tübingen in Germany told journalists at Live Science that the mummies mask had eyes containing “calcite, obsidian and a black gemstone” and he added that “Very few masks of precious metal have been preserved to the present day, because the tombs of most ancient Egyptian dignitaries were looted in ancient times” and that the “finding of this mask could be called a sensation.”
