https://www.sciencealert.com/huge-mystery-sarcophagus-unearthed-in-egypt-alexandria

Archaeological digs around ancient Egyptian sites still have plenty of secrets to give up yet like the huge, black granite sarcophagus just discovered at an excavation in the city of Alexandria, on the northern coast of Egypt.

What really stands out about the solemn-looking coffin is its size. At 185 cm (72.8 inches) tall, 265 cm (104.3 inches) long, and 165 cm (65 inches) wide, it's the biggest ever found in Alexandria.

Oh, and then there's the large alabaster head discovered in the same underground tomb. Experts are assuming it represents whoever is buried in the sarcophagus, though that's yet to be confirmed.

...we'll have to wait and see if the identity of the buried Egyptian can be determined. But a sarcophagus of this size could mean someone of pretty high status.


Is that you, Dio?

that was my first thought and I got really exited but when they said that they have found ones this big before and it's always just normal humans inside. some people just got giant coffins to show off or whatever. but maybe this time it really will be a giant. if it is, we won't hear about it. they will open it, scream and freak out and then quickly all the governments of the world will cover up the incident while secretly studying the body but we will never know about it.

Sounds like they're pretty sure it's something lame.

Otherwise the article would read:

"Archeologists found a box. Since they're scientists, they were curious and opened it before writing to news outlets worldwide"

Instead of

"Archeologists found a box. They decided not to open it until everyone was already interested"

That's not how it works. And ancient Egypt doesn't need any hype, tons of people are interested in anything ancient Egypt

They can't just open it anywhere anymore, it's gotta be in a strict climate-controlled environment with no outside interference.

archeologists work very slowly . even if they think it might be something big they have trained themselves to work like snails. I saw a special on tv once that was a live opening of a never opened part of a pyramid or tomb in egypt. it was some door that had been shut for thousands of years and never opened til they did it live on tv. and it ended up just being a small room on the other side with maybe a few trinkits I can't remember. and then another door. and I wanted them to open THAT door, but they wouldn't and then they just ended the show.

Likely possibilities so far:

Antediluvian Vampire
Star Gate
The Mummy
Apocalypse
Alexander the Great's true corpse
Giant human corpse
Aliens did it
