Sometimes the sarcophagus is for a different person of a later period, when the tomb was used in later periods. “There’s a long history of western archaeologists doing this work. But this time it is not the case," Al Aguizy told The Observer. An Egyptian sarcophagus that has laid peacefully for thousands of years has been discovered, emerging from beneath the sands in Cairo.

She's Licketysplit is favourite with Australian bookies for both the 1000 Guineas (October 12) and VRC Oaks (November 3), Mr Maestro is top elect in the VRC Derby (October 29), while Saturday's Turnbull Stakes winner Smokin Romans, bred at White Robe Lodge in Otago, is now favourite for the Caulfield Cup on Saturday week.
