Egyptian archaeologists discovered an intricately carved plaster sarcophagus portraying a wide-eyed
HEADLINE: 3-foot-tall woman''s mummy found in Egypt
CAPTION: Egyptian archaeologists discovered an intricately carved plaster sarcophagus portraying a wide-eyed woman dressed in a tunic in a newly uncovered complex of tombs at a remote desert oasis, Egypt's antiquities department announced. (April 15)
ARCHEOLOGISTS CAREFULLY BRUSH AND CLEAN A ROUGHLY TWO-THOUSAND YEAR OLD SARCOPHAGUS. THE EGYPTIAN ARCHEOLOGIST LEADING THE EXPEDITION SAYS EARLY EXAMINATIONS INDICATE THERE IS A MUMMY INSIDE.
THE SARCOPHAGUS BEARING THE IMAGE OF A WIDE-EYED WOMAN WAS REVEALED THIS WEEK.
(Arabic/ Alaa Ammar, Egyptian archaeologist working in the site:
We have discovered 14 tombs dating back to the Roman period 300 years before B.C. We are now in the tomb number 11 in which we have found a mummy wrapped with gypsum and this method is a Roman style mummy. And we also found in tomb number two a gold relief showing the four sons of the Egyptian god Horus.)
THIS ARCHEOLOGIST SAYS A TEAM DISCOVERED 14 TOMBS NEARLY 200 MILES SOUTHWEST OF CAIRO. AND THERE ARE INDICATIONS THEY MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF A LARGER TOMB COMPLEX, BUT HUMID WEATHER MAY HAVE DESTROYED SIMILAR SITES.
SCIENTISTS FOUND THE SARCOPHAGUS HERE--AND SAY IT''S THE FIRST ROMAN-STYLE MUMMY FOUND IN THE REGION.
ALONG WITH THE SARCOPHAGUS, ARCHEOLOGISTS FOUND PLASTER MASKS OF WOMEN''S FACES, GLASS AND CLAY UTENSILS AND METAL COINS. THEY HOPE TO USE THE METAL COINS TO GET A MORE SPECIFIC IDEA OF WHEN SHE WAS BURIED.
THE ARCHEOLOGISTS FIRST THOUGHT THEY FOUND THE REMAINS OF A CHILD--SINCE THE SARCOPHAGUS IS JUST THREE FEET LONG. THEY DON''T KNOW WHO SHE WAS, BUT SAY IT''S LIKELY SHE WAS A WEALTHY AND INFLUENTIAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
THEY ALSO NOTED THAT OTHER MUMMIES OF DIMINUTIVE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FOUND IN PARTS OF EGYPT. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN LOCAL RELIGIONS.

Ramesses III
Usimare Ramesses III was the second Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty and is considered to be the last great New Kingdom king to wield any substantial authority over Egypt. His long reign saw the decline of Egyptian power, linked to a series of invasions and economic problems.
Ramesses III was the son of Setnakhte and Queen Tiy-Merenese. He was probably murdered by an assassin in a conspiracy led by one of his secondary wives, Tiye, and her son Pentaweret.

In this photo taken on Nov. 6, 1964, salvage work are underway on the colossal 32-century-old temple of Abu Simbel, built by King Ramses II and dedicates to the worship of four prominent gods, as scores of determined archaeologist rally for the “last big dig” to save Nubia’s invaluable relics before they disappear beneath waters rising behind the Aswan Dam. The global campaign that saved the ancient Egyptian temples of Abu Simbel from inundation by the Aswan Dam 50 years ago was remembered this week as an unprecedented engineering achievement and a turning point in the perception of cultural treasures as a responsibility of all humanity. (AP-Photo) TURIN, Italy — Egyptologists and other experts gathered in Italy this week to celebrate a successful campaign to save ancient Egyptian temples from being submerged by a dam project 50 years ago and heard of cultural sites facing similar threats now. The international campaign that saved the temples of Abu Simbel during construction of Aswan High Dam was remembered in Turin as an unprecedented engineering achievement and a turning point that made the preservation of cultural treasures a responsibility that cut across borders. ADVERTISEMENT But experts at the Monday event said that with major dam projects underway in Sudan and Ethiopia, the job of protecting Nubian culture is not finished. The director of Turin’s Egyptian Museum, Christian Greco, noted that the focus in a modernizing Egypt half a century ago was on saving major monuments, largely due to time pressure.FEATURED STORIES LIFESTYLE Why it’s important to develop ‘grit’ in your kids LIFESTYLE LOOK: Catriona Gray, Kelsey Merritt meet in New York LIFESTYLE With baby in tow, 24-year-old single mom graduates from Harvard Law School In this photo taken on Dec. 1, 1965, a large interior pillar is lifted by crane after it had been cut free during the massive international operation to save the ancient Abu Simbel temples from the waters of the man-made lake forming behind the Aswan high dam in Egypt.

(AP Photo) Recording and salvaging settlements and domestic artifacts received less emphasis, and many were lost underwater when the dam across the Nile River and its lake reservoir went in, he said. “Unfortunately, we know that the traces, above all of pre-history before mummies, were lost under the waters of Nasser Lake,” Greco said. “It also needs to be a lesson for the future because there are still great challenges.” In 1960, UNESCO issued an international appeal to save the temples of Amu Simbel, an ancient gateway to pharaonic Egypt, dedicated to Ramses II and his wife Nefertiti.
