Alexandria sarcophagus discovery tops coverage of Egypt on a slow news morning

Topping coverage of Egypt in the foreign press on an unbearably slow news morning is the discovery of a sarcophagus in Alexandria from the Ptolemaic era. The black granite casket is apparently causing a ruckus because archaeologists don’t know who’s inside, according to Metro.

Coming in at a close second is wire coverage of security forces killing 11 militants in a North Sinai shootout.
