Call Geraldo! A mysterious ancient black granite sarcophagus has been discovered in Egypt. The tomb, which dates back to the Ptolemaic period between 305 B.C. and 30 B.C., was uncovered in the city of Alexandria. In a Facebook post, Dr. Mostafa Waziri, general secretary of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced that the 6-foot high sarcophagus, which is 8.7-feet long and 5.4-feet wide, is the largest ever found in Alexandria. The sarcophagus was found buried 16.4 feet below the surface. A layer of mortar between the lid and the body of the sarcophagus indicates that it has not been opened since it was closed more than 2,000 years ago. A carved alabaster head, which probably depicts the tomb’s owner, was also found. Ancient Egypt continues to reveal its secrets. Archaeologists recently unearthed a 2,200-year-old gold coin depicting the ancient King Ptolemy III, an ancestor of the famed Cleopatra. |

Don't mess with the dead. They went to a lot of trouble and expense to preserve themselves in a stone casket. Obviously they don't want to be disturbed by anyone at any time in history.

When you said it was black, I immediately thought of the movie "2001". Is this a publicity stunt or was the movie being factual?
