Mummy of Thutmose III

The mummy of king Thutmose III was moved from its original burial place in tomb KV34, in the Valley of the Kings, to the Deir el-Bahari cache (“DB320”) in his original middle coffin.

The mummy was badly damaged by tomb-robbers, probably during the 21st Dynasty. When they moved the royal mummies, they had to use narrow wooden splints to hold the body together.

Apparently, the king was about 1.61 meters tall. His hands were crossed over his chest, in the Osirian position. His face was covered with resin.

Hundreds of Roman gold coins found in basement of old theater

Archaeologists are studying a valuable trove of old Roman coins found on the site of a former theater in northern Italy.

The coins, at least 300 of them, date back to the late Roman imperial era and were found in a soapstone jar unearthed in the basement of the Cressoni Theater in Como, north of Milan.

“We do not yet know in detail the historical and cultural significance of the find,” said Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli in a press release. “But that area is proving to be a real treasure for our archaeology. A discovery that fills me with pride.”

Whoever placed the jar in that place “buried it in such a way that in case of danger they could go and retrieve it,” said Maria Grazia Facchinetti, a numismatist – or expert in rare coins – at a Monday press conference. 

“They were stacked in rolls similar to those seen in the bank today,” she said, adding the coins have engravings about emperors Honorius, Valentinian III, Leon I, Antonio, and Libio Severo “so they don’t go beyond 474 AD.“ Read more.
