Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered unusual artifacts, including golden 'tongues' and 'nails', at the Al-Bahnasa archaeological site. The objects, estimated to date back to the Ptolemaic era, were found in tombs along with various amulets and jars depicting Egyptian deities. The discovery is seen as a significant addition to the history of the region and sheds light on religious practices during the Ptolemaic era. The excavation also revealed a rectangular stone burial well leading to a tomb with multiple chambers containing dozens of mummies, suggesting an ancient mass cemetery.
