“Još nismo pronašli imena ispisana hijeroglifima”, rekao je Vaziri, dodajući da je jasno da su mumije ljudi koji su pripadali visokom sloju društva, sudeći po načinu na koji su mumificirani, prenosi Rojters.

Neke od mumija bile su ukrašene drevnim znacima, vrstom pisma koje su koristili meštani u to doba. U grobnicama se nalaze i predmeti od keramike i papirusi.
