“Experts have said the three individuals in the Alexandria sarcophagus may have been soldiers in the time of the Pharaohs.
The skull of one is said to show cracks which point to an arrow injury.
An alabaster bust, its features weathered beyond recognition, was also found with the tomb.
The huge sarcophagus weighs almost 30 tonnes
The structure is almost two metres (6.5ft) high and three metres long, and is the largest of its kind ever found intact.
It weighs in at 27 tonnes (59,500lb), and is believed to date from the early Ptolemaic period, which began in 323 BC after the death of Alexander the Great.”
