A Two Thousand Year Old Sarcophagus Has Been Discovered In Egypt And They Just Opened It. What Could Go Wrong?
This story began a week ago, when some construction workers in Egypt discovered a rather large black granite sarcophagus sealed with a layer of mortar. This was clearly never meant to be opened.

Of course the first thing that came up was ‘Should we open it’?

Which, if you’ve ever seen any movie that’s about Egypt, the obvious question comes up.

So, a mysterious 2,000 year old never-to-be-opened sarcophagus was found in Egypt and they’re wondering whether or not to open it. This sounds exactly like the plot to all of the “Mummy” movies. So what’ll they do? Open it of course. Bring on the plagues!
The mysterious black sarcophagus in Alexandria, Egypt has been opened. It contains 3 mummies, thought to be a family.

So…. No Imhotep?
Breaking news. Black sarcophagus from Alexandria "filled with sewer water and contains 3 skeletons". No King. No curse. https://t.co/s4gFd9N0fq

The skeletons of 3 men submerged in sewer water. Perhaps we need to read from the Book Of The Dead to bring them back. Although, they are covered in sewer water, maybe they don’t want to come back. Ewwww. I’m not convinced this story is over. Keep an eye out for the plagues.
