TEHRAN, Feb 03 - Egypt on Saturday unveiled over 40 mummies dating back to the Ptolemaic era at a burial site in the center of the country.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The mummies date back to over 2000 years ago wrapped in linen. 12 children and six animals were among the mummies, while the rest were adult men and women, Archaeologist Rami Rasmi told AFP.
