We have no idea who's inside. https://www.livescience.com/63027-mmassive-egyptian-sarcophagus-mystery.html  quote:A massive black granite sarcophagus and a sculpture of a man who may be buried inside have been discovered in a tomb in Alexandria, Egypt. Also there is a featureless alabaster head  Personally I think we should open the giant black Egyptian sarcophagus, and maybe also mock the featureless alabaster head.

I'm actually glad it's granite and not basalt Nothing good has ever come out of a giant black basalt sarcophagus. The record is mum on granite.

We really can't just assume it would be worse than what we've got going now. A vote for Pharaoh of the World is a vote for stability and good governance

No game designer would ever put a massive black granite sarcophagus into a level, next to a featureless alabaster head no less, and have it just be some old dead jamoke inside

Blurry Gray Thing posted:I'm torn on the subject. If the mummy wizard awakens other ancient creatures of myth and nightmare, brings magic back into the world, ends the Age of Reason, and brings mankind's reign over this Earth to an end, then we won't have an internet anymore. I'm not hearing a downside e: aw, poo poo, I shoulda used the I Want To Believe tag Phy fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jul 11, 2018 |

Myron Baloney posted:That was my first thought. Alexander's body was moved from Memphis to Alexandria during the date range they're attributing to the site. That would be something, to finally find him. All kidding about the massive black sarcophagus and accompanying featureless alabaster head aside, that would be very cool if it was the case. How many really famous ancient people are there that we know exactly where their bones are?

What I wanted: Alexander the Great, a hideous ancient curse What I got: crappy skeletons and a featureless alabaster head
