Archaeologists have been excavating a gigantic burial site containing up to one million mummies. The cemetery, which is known as Fag el-Gamous (Way of the Water Buffalo), has been a site of great interest for over 30 years.
To date the remains of more than 1,700 individuals have been unearthed however archaeologists believe that in total the site is likely to be home to upwards of one million bodies.
The cemetery dates back at least 2,000 years with most of the remains dating to between the 1st and 7th centuries AD.
This is a great find I guess but am I the only one who finds extremely morbid that we just dig these people and call it science when its actually grave robbing and a crime?
