Thousands-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus opened on live TV
A sarcophagus containing an Egyptian high priest was opened on live TV Sunday during a special two-hour broadcast by the American channel Discovery.
Expedition Unknown: Egypt Live aired from the site outside Minya, which is along the Nile River south of Cairo and its Giza pyramids.
Archeologists recently discovered a network of vertical shafts at the site which led to tunnels and tombs containing 40 mummies believed to be part of the noble elite.
