Egypt archeologists unearth 110 ancient tombs in Nile Delta

I can't believe they're still finding stuff under the desert over there. Egyptian archaeologists have unearthed another 110 tombs at an ancient site in the Nile Delta province. Some contain humans, some don't. However, I think this find is symbolic of something big that's on the horizon. I think something monumental is about to be found concerning humanity's past that will blow all other finds out of the water. IDK, it's just a feeling....This discovery is pretty cool huh, ATS?

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian archeologists unearthed 110 burial tombs at an ancient site in a Nile Delta province, the Tourism and Antiquities Ministry said Tuesday.

The graves, some of which have human remains inside, were found at the Koum el-Khulgan archeological site in Dakahlia province, around 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of Cairo, the ministry said.

They include 68 oval-shaped tombs dating back to the Predynastic Period that spanned from 6000-3150 B.C., the ministry said.

There are also 37 rectangular-shaped tombs from an ancient era known as the Second Intermediate Period (1782-1570 B.C.), when the Semitic people of Hyksos ruled ancient Egypt, the ministry added.

The remaining five oval-shaped tombs date back to the Naqada III period that spanned from around 3200 B.C. to 3000 B.C.

So, this find is a burial site with burials from different eras when different people ruled over Egypt...? I think this discovery is important in and of itself. There is so much hidden under the sand and hidden in other parts of the world still waiting to be discovered; it's almost mind boggling...! Well, not to topic drift in my own thread. So, what does ATS think about this discovery..? What say you, ATS?

Didn't they used to dig up tombs and burn the mummies as train fuel?

I love discoveries like this! I wonder if any of the second and third eras knew it had been used before?

This is exciting!
I just hope they find something spectacular and
Actually release the true details.
