Mother and child, Bahariya discoverings, 2001

            In April 2001, Egyptian archaeologists discovered 22 mummies in Bahariya, some 350 kilometres from Cairo. They date back to the 6th century BC and were neatly divided into two tombs.
Shortly afterwards, while traveling through the White Desert, I had the exceptional opportunity to descend into one of the (dark) tombs with an Egyptian friend. There I discovered this untouched sarcophagus of a mother with her child's mummy on top of her (lying horizontal).
