Not only were human and animal mummification workshops unveiled at the ancient burial ground of the Saqqara necropolis in Giza, Egypt on Saturday, but two previously uncovered tombs as well.

The head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, said that the massive mummification workshops date back all the way to the 30th dynasty (380-343 BC) and the Ptolemaic (305-30 BC) eras.

The unexpected discovery was made after a year-long excavation near the sanctuary of the goddess Bastet — home to the catacombs of mummified cats in Saqqara, just south of Cairo.

Saqqara has been subject of several extensive archaeological digs in the last few years. In fact, hundreds of statues and mummified animals were discovered on the very same site in 2019.
