Tourists look at a stray cat resting in the ancient Area Sacra ruins in Rome on October 30, 2012. Members of a self-funded non-profit group named "Feline Colony of Largo Argentina", who are dedicated to taking care of the several hundred cats which roam the Area Sacra ruins are worried about a decision by the Rome Department of Archeology to "clean-up" the ruins, fearing that the government institution is aiming to push out the stray cats. Attempting to ease the organization's concerns a representative from Rome's Department of Archeology said the clean-up was aimed primarily at construction that has infringed on the ruins, not at the cats which the 'Largo Argentina' organization consider a distinctive part of the area's identity and a draw for tourists.

Arheolozi su na arheološkom nalazišu Saqqari, južno od Kaira otkrili 150 brončanih kipova izrađenih po uzoru na faraonske bogove, 250 dobro očuvanih egipatskih sarkofaga i ostalih predmeta iz 5. stoljeća prije nove ere, objavilo je ministarstvo turizma i starina.

Među otkrićima u nekropoli Saqqari pronađene su statue egipatskih bogova i božica: Anubisa, Amuna, Mina, Ozirisa, Izide, Nefertema, drevne božice-mačke Bastet i božice ljubavi Hator, kao i kip kraljevskog arhitekta Imhotepa koji je izgradio piramidu Saqqaru, objavilo je mnistarstvo.

Pronađeni i stihovi iz Knjige mrtvih?

Arheolozi su pronašli i glazbeni instrument sistrum i zbirku brončanih posuda korištenih u ritualima za štovanje božice Izide. Oslikani drveni sarkofazi pronađeni su netaknuti, a u njima su otkrivene mumije, amajlije i drvene kutije.

Pronađeni su i drveni kipovi božica Neftide i Izide iz ranijeg razdoblja, oba s pozlaćenim licima te zbirka drevnih kozmetičkih kutijica i posuda, brončano ogledalo, ogrlice, narukvice i ukrasi za gležanj. U jednome sarkofagu nalazio se dobro očuvan papirus ispisan hijeroglifima, možda stihovima iz Knjige mrtvih. Poslan je na analizu u laboratorij Egipatskih muzeja u Kairu.

Sarkofazi će biti izloženi u Velikome egipatskom muzeju, koji je u izgradnji, a smješten je nedaleko od Velikih piramida u Gizi. Trebao bi biti otvoren do kraja godine. Nekropola Saqqara, južno od piramida u Gizi, posljednjih je godina nepresušan izvor arheoloških nalaza. Misija arheoloških iskopavanja na tom području traje od 2018. godine.
