More news from Egypt!
“The remains of a child, laid to rest more than 1,500 years ago when the Roman Empire controlled Egypt, was found in an ancient cemetery that contains more than 1 million mummies, according to a team of archaeologists from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.”

Those of us who play Lamentations of the Flame Princess know how this story will end.
I should add that the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities is disputing some of the researchers’ claims.
“There is indeed a site that contains many corpses and bodies wrapped in a thick textile,” Khalifa said. “But these number in the tens of thousands, maximum.”
