sarcophagus

Photos reveal the structure's rise and fall

It is a Sarcophagus from the Frankish Merovingian Era

...and they discovered a gruesome scene

The sarcophagus was discovered in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in early July

A layer of mortar between the lid and the body of the sarcophagus indicates that it has not been opened since it was closed more than 2,000 years ago

Greek inscription wrote: “Blessed Kandes sleeps here”
