In November 2018, eight mummies in the Dahshur royal necropolis were unearthed. The mummies dated to between 664 and 332 B.C., were covered with painted cartonnage and rested in limestone sarcophagi
Studies[]
A team began to excavate an area to the south-west of the White Pyramid where they came across the eight tombs and they all had mummified remains. Only three of the eight mummies were in good condition. The burial site is believed to have been for courtiers and high-ranking officials.
