Ancient Egyptian cemetery found with 40 mummies and a message 'from the afterlife'

A cemetery more than 2,000 years old containing over 40 mummies and a necklace with a "message from the afterlife" has been found in Egypt.

The ancient burial ground, found in Minya, south of Cairo, is expected to take five years to fully excavate, as it contains more than 40 sarcophagi, jewelry, pottery and a gold mask, according to the BBC.

Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Enany noted that the artifacts date to as early as 300 B.C.
