One million mummies discovered in ancient Egyptian cemetery
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over a million mummies have been discovered in an ancient Egyptian cemetery, archaeologists have announced.
The cemetery, in the Selia, in the Fayum Region of Egypt, has been the subject of excavation for almost 30 years and it is believed to have been a mass grave for poor people living when the Roman Empire controlled Egypt.
Called Fag el-Gamous, meaning Way of the Cow, experts from the Brigham Young University in Utah presented their findings at the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities Scholars Colloquium, Live Science reports.
Project director Kerry Muhlestein said: "We are fairly certain we have over a million burials within this cemetery. It's large, and it's dense."

While not mummified in the traditional sense - with organs removed - the corpses had petrified over time in the arid environment: "I don't think you would term what happens to these burials as true mummification. If we want to use the term loosely, then they were mummified."
The cemetery is believed to have been for non-wealthy people. They were often buried without any grave goods or coffins. Some of the shafts were up to 23m deep.
Wilfred Griggs, from Religious Studies Centre at BYU, wrote in an earlier paper: "Burials ranged in number from one in the shallow shafts to twelve in the deep shafts, with burial chambers branching off horizontally from the shaft.

"We cannot determine whether the large number of burials in one shaft-tomb represented a family burial, opened repeatedly as different members of the family died (both children and adults were buried in the multiple-burial tombs), or whether some catastrophe in the village or family resulted in a mass common burial effort."
Many of the mummies date from the Roman or Byzantine Empire, from the 1st to the 7th century.
While most did not have riches buried with them, some had jewellery, coins and textiles. Commenting on their findings last year, researchers also said the mummification process was attempted in some cases: "The toes and toenails and brain and tongue were amazingly preserved," they wrote of one child mummy.

Photo 4: "For little girl was about 18 months old when she passed away. She was buried with great care as someone who obviously loved her very much did all they could to take care of this little girl in burial."
Experts are still trying to establish why such a large cemetery was set up at the site – the nearby village would not have been big enough to warrant it, and the nearest large town had its own cemetery.
"It's hard to know where all these people were coming from," Muhlestein told Live Science.

Saint Simon the Tanner (St. Sama'an, in Arabic) lived towards the end of the tenth Century when Egypt was ruled by the Fatimid Caliph, Al- Muizz and Anba Abram was the Coptic Pope.
At the time, the Copts (Christians) in Egypt were engaged in handicrafts. St Simon worked in one of the crafts widespread in Babylon (Old Cairo) which was tanning, a craft still known there till this day.
This profession involved also other crafts that depend on the process, from where he carried several titles related to skins; St Simon the Tanner, the Cobber, the Shoemaker.

The Monastery of Saint Simon, also known as the Cave Church,, located on the opposite side of the road leading to the Citadel contains seven Churches and Chapels hidden in a series of caves in the Mokattam (Muqattam) hills.
The main Cathedral there is named after the Virgin Mary and St Simon in commemoration of the legend of transferring the Mokattam Mountain in November 979 when Simon the Tanner was chosen to fulfill this miracle

According to Coptic sayings, the Caliph Al Muizz, an enlightened man, was fond of literacy gatherings and inviting different religious leaders to debate in his presence with neither anger nor contention.
In one of those meetings in which Pope Abram and a Jew named Jacob Ibn Killis were present, the Pope got the upper hand in the debate. Plotting to take revenge, Ibn Killis quoted the verse where the Lord Jesus said in Mt 17:20: "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, nothing will be impossible for you" and demanded him to prove that his religion is right by means of this.
The Caliph saw in this an opportunity to remove the mountain that was spoiling his view. At the same time, if they proved unable to do so, it would be the proof that the religion of the Christians was wrong and he would be done away with them completely or so goes the Legend.
And so, after 3 days of prayers and fasts by the people throughout the land of Egypt, Simon was chosen to move the Mokattam Mountain. It is said that a great earthquake swept over the mountain. Each time the people stood up to worship, the mountain was thrust up and the sun would be seen from under it. When the people sat down, the mountain thrust down. This was repeated three times.
St Simon was never found afterwards. His skeleton was discovered in 1991 in Babylon in St Mary's church (the Hanging Church).

The Virgin Mary and St Simon Cathedral was constructed on 2 stages. At first, it was only a huge cave of limestone in the bosom of the hill. The audience were seated on straw rugs around the alter which was prepared in 1986. The 2nd stage was in November 1994 which falls on the feast of St Simon. The church was reconstructed and the ground was deepened once more. Fixed seats were constructed around the alter in the form of a quarter-circle auditorium to accommodate up to five thousand people and thus it became the biggest church in the Monastery. To the right side of the alter, the church keeps the remains of St Simon's body.

In the year 1974, up on the ceiling and to the right side of the alter, an obvious engraved figure of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus Christ was discovered, not touched by any human hand. It was later revised in the year 1994.
Another amazing Chapel in the Monastery is St Bola's Church, named after St Bola the first Pilgrim for virtues he possessed. He lived in caves and solitude for 70 years during which he never set eyes upon a human face.
The Chapel cave was discovered in 1986 by pure coincidence during construction works when a huge rock fell showing an opening in the ceiling of the cave and thus, the church location was decided
An astonishing story about this church took place in January 1992 when it was endangered by a fire caused by an electric spark. The picture of Jesus Christ hanging in the church and the alter were by no means destroyed even though the whole interior of the cave was damaged.
A third church of the series of churches in the Monastery is St Mark's Church and St Simon the tanner's Hall. This huge cave was discovered in 1979 full of hundreds of tons of rocks at a height of 17 meters from the ground.
After several years of hard work and prayer, they began to find a path in order to start removing the rocks and finally it was prepared to contain 2 levels.
The upper storey is St Simon's Hall which accommodates 2000 people in spiritual meetings. The walls are decorated with many wonderful pictures engraved on the rocks representing scenes from the Bible.
The lower storey is St Mark's Church which is named after St Mark, the first preacher in Egypt.
The church dome at the hall entrance is decorated from the outside with three great artistic pieces made of small mosaic on top of the dome, representing important scenes of the Bible.

This Monastery, a tribute to St Simon, receives large numbers of pilgrims and is mostly visited by the people of the Zabbalin village.
Simon's Monastery also includes an educational Center; a kinder garden, a school for the deaf and dumb and literacy and vocational courses.
The unusual location, the unexpected size of the caves and the beauty of the engravings, all combined together are astonishing.
Even though the work there is relatively recent, it might as well seem that the Monastery has been hiding there since ever so much so that it feels like a part the Mokattam Hills.

By all means, visiting the place is an exceptional experience that's not to be missed.
