Egyptian royal horses still have feathers after 3,000 years

The horse belonging to a royal family should be buried very carefully and carefully.

A horse with chestnut coat has been found at a tomb in Egypt a few days ago. This horse is said to have lived 3,000 years ago and belonged to an Egyptian royal family.

Horse bones are found in Sudan.

The horse is so well preserved that its fur remains after more than three millennia on the ground. Scientists call this Tombo horse at the location found in Sudan. It lies deeper than 1.5 meters underground.

Archaeologists say the horse is buried in the ground and the iron armor around it shows that it is very cared for when it is alive. Based on carbon marks, scientists said the horse dates back to 950 BC.

At that time, Nubia's Kushite clan was enlisting instability in Egypt to form a political, economic and military power. Later, that area became the modern Sudanese state.

'Traces of the affirmation confirm that the horse was buried in a solemn manner rather than thrown down and covered with soil', said Professor Michele Buzon from Purdue University. 'We rarely find animals in tombs'.

Dr. Buzon said that the horse's bones are still intact, the brown hair color is still quite clear.'Everything is almost intact, so miraculous , ' Buzon said.
