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. Hawass and his Egyptian team found around 250 mummies over 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.
