60 ancient Egyptian mummies buried secret scary death

More than 4,000 years ago in Egypt, dozens of people died from terrible wounds that were embalmed and "locked up" in the cliff near Luxor province. Collective burial forms rarely occur in ancient Egypt and people are curious about why the mummies are buried together.

According to Live Science, archaeologists recently came to learn about the mysterious warrior's tomb at the historic site Deir el Bahari, located on the west bank of the Nile, Egypt.

Feet of warrior mummies found in the tomb in historical place Deir el Bahari.

The tomb was sealed right after the discovery in 1923. The process of analyzing specimens in the tomb and some other areas in Egypt revealed a bloody, desperate chapter in Egyptian history under the ancient kingdom about 2150 BC.

The results of the study, which appeared in a documentary titled "The Secret of Death: The Darkest Hour in Egyptian History , " painted a gloomy picture of civil unrest sparking the event. The most bloody battle between the region's heads 4,200 years ago. One of the battles took the lives of about 60 people and their bodies were embalmed and buried in the warrior tomb .

Salima Ikram archaeologist is looking at the image of the skull of a mummy found in the tomb.

Archaeologist Salima Ikram, professor of Egyptian studies at the American university in Cairo, studied the mummies and a film crew at the end of September 2018. According to Davina Bristow, director and producer of documentary, the study also has the support of the Egyptian Antiquities Department and local experts.

Right at the entrance to the tomb, a labyrinth consists of many branched large tunnels about 61 meters long that dug into the cliff. The room inside the tomb was filled with corpses, wrapped in bandages, archaeologist Ikram said.

All corpses are men and many signs that they have terrible injuries . The head part that is smashed or punctured may be the result of a sharp weapon of damage. Many dagger arrows on mummies show that they are all dead soldiers. One of the mummies even has protective gloves, which the archers use.

"These people are very pathetic and scary," said Mrs. Ikram.

Evidence from some other places in Egypt shows that these soldiers died during the period of strong Egyptian society.

Philippe Collombert, an Egyptian scholar at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, said some evidence lies in the tomb of pharaoh Pepi II, who ruled for 90 years.

The tomb of pharaoh Pepi II , in Saqqara cemetery, Giza province, Egypt, is ornate and spectacular. It was built when this pharaoh was young and this showed that the kingdom of that period had no signs of collapse, according to Collombert.

However, the tomb of King Pepi II was robbed shortly after the pharaoh was buried. Collombert said that such a disrespect would only happen in Egypt if the Egyptians no longer respected the pharaoh's divine position and the government no longer took control.

Antonio Morales, an Egyptian scholar at the University of Alcalá, Spain, said that the words in the grave of a local leader under King Pepi II refer to the conflict between factions, social unrest, Civil war and lack of government control caused chaos.

Famine caused by drought has caused the collapse of society under King Pepi II to happen faster. Another piece of the tomb in the tomb also took on a horrifying scene when "adults killed and ate little children because they were too hungry".

The same hunger and instability are the causes of the mad battle that caused 60 men to kill each other with gruesome wounds.
