Mummified dogs, among other relics unearthed in Egypt
Washington, Feb 1 (ANI): Archaeologists have unearthed an unusual grave containing mummified dogs, among four other ancient tombs holding well-preserved mummies and ornate painted coffins in El Faivum, an oasis about 80 kilometers southwest of Cairo in Egypt.
According to a report in National geographic, the team of U.S. and Russian archaeologists stumbled upon the burials during routine work in a section of the cemetery, which was used from the early fourth century B.C. to the seventh century A.D.
One of the strangest discoveries made at the site was the non-mummified body of a child buried with several mummified dogs, a grave unlike any other yet found in Egypt.

Grim secrets of Pharaoh's city
Evidence of the brutal lives endured by some ancient Egyptians to build the monuments of the Pharaohs has been uncovered by archaeologists.
Skeletal remains from a lost city in the middle of Egypt suggest many ordinary people died in their teenage years and lived a punishing lifestyle.
Many suffered from spinal injuries, poor nutrition and stunted growth.
The remains were found at Amarna, a new capital built on the orders of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, 3,500 years ago.
