Unveiling of ancient burial site in Egypt’s Minya tops foreign press coverage

Topping coverage of Egypt this morning is the unveiling of an ancient Ptolemaic era burial site in Minya housing 50 mummies, as reported by Reuters and The Telegraph, among others. The story is picking up steam in the foreign press as the BBC looks at the role women explorers played in Britain’s fascination with Egyptian mummies a century ago, and the inspiration those collections are giving up-and-coming women archaeologists.
