Mummy of ancient Egyptian high priest

MINYA: Egypt has unveiled the 2500-year-old mummy of a high priest at an ancient cemetery south of Cairo. Researchers opened three sealed sarcophagi from the 26th Dynasty. The mummy of the priest was wrapped in linen and decorated with a golden figure depicting Isis, an ancient Egyptian goddess.

They also opened two other sarcophagi, one containing a female mummy and another with a father in a family tomb. The team also found a rare wax head.

Archaeologists said that the site needed excavation for the next 50 years.
