💗😍The Ark of Alexandria & the Curse of the Pharaohs !!

The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, Mustafa Waziri, said that an archaeological ark was found by chance in Alexandria.

"The ark is one of the largest coffins found in Alexandria, with a height of 185 cm, a length of 265 cm, and a width of 165 cm."

The ark , discovered by an Egyptian contractor during the construction of a property in early July 2018, stirred controversy amid rumors that the curse of the pharaohs would make darkness sweep the world for 100 years when it will open.

However, Waziri denied the rumors and confirmed that the ark, which weighs 30 tons, is not for Alexander the Great after information has been reported & It is thought to date back to the Ptolemaic period .

This is explained by three reasons: "There are no inscriptions on the ark, there is no" cartouche "bearing the name of the owner of this ark, and lastly, this is very poor, not property and not belonging to one of the kings.

"The ark of granite and the nature of the area here are sandy, indicating that the owner of the ark was rich or recommended to be buried in a granite ark whose quarry is located in Aswan," Waziri said .

"The ark is usually for one person, but the remains of three mummies indicate that the burial was done hastily or that the conditions made the three people bury together," he said.

But an expert on mummies and skeletons Shaaban Abdel Moneim told Sky News: The initial inspection of the skeleton indicates that the bodies belonged to three military officers or soldiers, where the skull of one of the skeletons found traces of a blow to the arrow.

Also found inside the tomb a head of a statue of a man made of alabaster eroded, height of 40 cm, is likely to belong to the owner of the cemetery.

The Ministry of Antiquities used men from the governorate of Luxor in southern Egypt to remove the cover of the ark as specialists in dealing with coffins and mummies.

"We opened the lid of the ark ( 25 cm), but unfortunately we found sewage water leaking in over time because of a minor crack on one side of the ark," Waziri said.

"We found the bones of three people in a kind of family burial. Unfortunately, the mummies that were inside the ark were no longer intact, leaving only skeletons left."

He told reporters: "What has been reported about the curse of the pharaohs, all these myths, the world has not been darkened, and we have not lived in a hundred years darkness ... and the first one who put his head into the ark was me &  Thank God I stand in front of you intact after the completion  of the process of opening the lid of the ark ".
