The items date back to the Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt for 300 years – from around 320BC to around 30BC and the Late Period (664-332BC).
Egyptian antiquities officials have announced the discovery of almost 100 ancient coffins – some with mummies inside them – and around 40 golden statues in south Cairo.
The remains, interred in colourful, sealed sarcophagi, were buried more than 2,500 years ago in the Pharaonic necropolis.
