sudshr47 July 19, 2018

Buckle up, everyone — Egyptian authorities finally opened up the mysterious black sarcophagus on Thursday that was unearthed at the beginning of July. Sadly, they only found three soggy mummies.

The 2,000-year-old sarcophagus was found during a construction dig in Alexandria, Egypt. According to a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, it may be the largest sarcophagus ever discovered in Alexandria, clocking in at 9-feet long, 5-feet wide, and 6-feet deep.

Scientists found a mysterious void in the Great Pyramid of Giza thanks to particle physics

The behavior of those particles — which are created by cosmic rays zipping around Earth’s atmosphere — revealed the 30-meter-long void in the structure, which is around 450 feet tall and more than 4,000 years old.
