A cache of recently discovered mummified cats, cobras, crocodiles, and birds was put on display in Egypt on Saturday as more details were revealed.

Archaeologists discovered the trove last year near the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, south of the capital – near where other similar artifacts have been found in vast necropolis.

“We are finding here hundreds of objects,” said Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Anany. “All of them are very interesting from the Egyptological point of view to know better this area.”

I do find Egyptology interesting but I personally could never disturb the resting place of anything, whether human or animal, but it is an interesting article, Debi, thank you for posting. :)
