Archaeologists uncovered 10 remarkably preserved crocodile mummies, likely over 2500 years old, inside an untouched Egyptian tomb at Qubbat al-Hawa on Nile’s west bank. The find, made in 2019 by a University of Jaén team, offers rare insight into rituals honoring Sobek, fertility god.
Unlike earlier finds, these mummies were not embalmed with bitumen, allowing scientists to study their bones—and in one case, preserved skin—in detail.
