New Graeco-Roman Cemetery at Kharga Oasis

http://www.sis.gov.eg/online/html11/o141024z4.htm
"The French team excavating at Kharga Oasis have made an archaeological discovery 8 kilometers from Al-Monira village. The team unearthed a Greco- Roman cemetery embracing tombs carved in a sandstone hill". As well as one mummy with six toes one each foot, a couple of causes of death have been listed. More informative than usual for the SIS website.
