It is just as the title suggests, as a team of expert Egyptian and German archaeologists came upon an ancient necropolis in the area of Saqqara which gave them results, they weren’t even expecting to begin with.
They had undergone these excavations for over four years now of the Great Mummification Workshop Complex of Dynasty 26 which was said to date back from 664 to 525 BC.
It is oftentimes referred to as one of the most important necropolises of Memphis, south of Cairo, and it was originally discovered back in 2018.
After a year of excavating, however, the team actually came across yet another burial chamber which is drastically different than the rest.
It was hidden behind a 2,600-year-old stone wall that harbored four different wooden sarcophagi.
The man in charge of the discovery was named Ramadan Badri Hussein and according to him, one of these coffins was that of the Didibastett priestess.
Her funeral was very strange to say the least, as she was buried alongside six canopic glasses and four jars.
The jars were filled with her lungs, stomach, intestines, and liver as the rest of her was embalmed already.
According to the experts, however, the bodies of the priests and priestesses discovered near it all worshipped a mysterious serpent goddess known as Niut-shaes.
She was believed to have belonged to the ancient set of beliefs that essentially died off during the XXVI dynasty. A gold-plated silver burial mask was discovered next to their bodies which cemented the fact that they were praising the Niut-shaes goddess, as that was her signature.
