Sarcophagus Bodies With Weird Red Sewage Inside
This is finding raised the most media attention in 2018. When archaeologists found a new sarcophagus in Egypt they immediately decided to open it, and inside they found that red sewage had somehow managed to seep inside. Even though the sewage looked absolutely disgusting, there were still a decent amount of people who actually asked to drink the sewage believing it held some type of special powers (hard to believe, we know). They even went as far as to create a petition for their request, with thousands signing up. Inside the sarcophagus, the archaeologists found the body of a young woman who was between 20 and 25 years old, as well as two men in their 30s or 40s. This finding is considered to be the largest sarcophagus ever found in Alexandria. The thick layer of mortar that was covering it leads them to believe that it was never opened before and that the mystery liquid was just sewage that seeped in.
