The Faiyum Oasis is a desert depression west of the Nile River, or just 100 km south of Cairo, Egypt. It contains the ruins of several ancient villages, ancient Egyptian cities, and even Crocodilopolis/Arsinoe - a place dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek. Photo: @Trips In Egypt.
In this cemetery of the Faiyum oasis, archaeologists from the CEI RAS Research Institute excavated the burial of an 8-year-old child, dating back to the 4th century BC. Photo: @ ABC News - The Walt Disney Company.
It is worth noting that the remains of this child were placed on top of the remains of a total of 142 dogs, all in the same burial grave. Photo: @CEI RAS Research Institute.
Zoologist Galina Belova examined the dogs and concluded that they all died at the same time, with no evidence of violent impact. Photo: @Research Institute CEI RAS.
Experts even found traces of green clay, commonly found in ancient Egyptian cisterns, on the remains of these dogs, suggesting they may have been near a flooded water source and drowned. Photo: @CEI RAS Research Institute.
However, why the child was in the grave remains a mystery. Photo: @CEI RAS Research Institute.
It is possible that the child was taking care of/playing with the animals when the accident happened, but what is more puzzling is that the child was found with a linen bag placed on his head. Photo: @CEI RAS Research Institute.
