Three sarcophagi opened live on the Discovery Channel: A team of Egyptologists opened three sealed sarcophagi live on the Discovery Channel on Sunday. The excavation site, just outside Minya, housed three 2,500-year-old sarcophagi from the 26th Dynasty, a wax head, and a cornucopia of paraphernalia, jars, amulets, and statues. Reuters, Newsweek, and the AFP all have the story.
