Valley of the Golden Mummies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Valley of the Golden Mummies is a huge burial site at Bahariya Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt; discovered by Dr. Zahi Hawass in 1996. Dr. Zahi Hawass with his Egyptian team found around 250 mummies in several seasons; however the site has more than this number - according to the excavator even more than 10,000.[1] The site dates to Greco-Roman Egypt.
