seeder Posted September 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2014 'Evil Eye' Box and Other Ancient Treasures Found in Nile River Cemetery A 2,000-year-old cemetery with several underground tombs has been discovered near the Nile River in Sudan. Archaeologists excavated several of the underground tombs, finding artifacts such as a silver ring, engraved with an image of a god, and a faience box, decorated with large eyes, which a researcher believes protected against the evil eye. Villagers discovered the cemetery accidently in 2002 while digging a ditch near the modern-day village of Dangeil, and archaeological excavations have been ongoing since then. The finds were reported http://www.livescience.com/47306-nile-river-cemetery-discovered.html Also found a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MlcbcVNUCc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac E Posted September 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Fascinating discovery. I'll have to look into the "Archers loose" some more. This is the first I've heard of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracona15 Posted September 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I absolutely love everything that has to do with Egypt. I hope that in my life time, I'll be able to travel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted September 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Interesting, but I think the word 'Treasure' is stretching it a bit. Also this site is called Unexplained Mysteries, many stories including this one are hardly that. I guess I'm feeling picky today, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted September 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Let's see.... A "party bowl" of conjoined bowls near a cemetery. Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Trinity Posted September 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The region is rich in artifacts and discoveries, sometimes feels like you could travel out there, dig a random hole and find something. Always nice when you hear they have found a tomb or other chamber that hasn't been looted at some point in history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
