Nevine El-Aref , Thursday 19 Jul 2018
A black granite sarcophagus that was discovered earlier this month in Alexandria has been opened in a ceremony attended by Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri.
Waziri confirmed to Ahram Online that the sarcophagus does not belong to Alexander the Great (356 – 323 BC) as had been speculated by some on social media.
A committee from the Ministry of Antiquities has said that the sarcophagus houses the remains of three warriors who appear to have died during battle.
