Egypt's First Kings May Have Been Buried With Human Sacrifices
New research suggests that Egypt's earliest dynastic kings may have been buried alongside human sacrifices, a practice previously more associated with neighboring cultures of ancient Africa. The findings would revise understanding of early Egyptian royal burial customs and the consolidation of kingly power around the dawn of the pharaonic era.
Why now: Fresh archaeological findings challenge established views of early Egyptian royal burial practices.
