The Egyptian archaeological mission working at a temple in the delta province of Menoufia found several mummies with golden tongues, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced Thursday.
The tombs, which date back to different eras, including the Late Period of ancient Egypt and the Greco-Roman civilization, contained several mummies that had golden tongues nestled in their jawbones, the statement said.
The mummies were in bad preservation condition which meant the tombs had been subject to looting, it noted.
