Egypt's antiquities authority has said only that the single-chamber tomb contains five wooden sarcophagi, in human shapes with colored funerary masks, surrounded by 20 jars with their pharaonic seals intact -- and that the sarcophagi contain mummies, likely from the 18th Dynasty, some 3,500-3,300 years ago.I have been listening to a course-on-cd this week about Near Eastern Mythology, so there seems to be a sense of kismet here. But I truly hope this does not bring back the "Walk Like an Egyptian" craze.
Further details were expected Friday, when antiquities chief Zahi Hawass was to unveil the tomb.
