With the findings of 12 new tombs discovered in Gebel el Silsila, Egypt, we will be able to answer alot of questions and create new questions. The findings have revealed a wealth of material culture, including nicely dressed sandstone sarcophagi, painted cartonnage, sculptured and sometimes painted pottery coffins, textile and organic wrapping, ceramic vessels and plates, as well as an array of jewellery, amulets and scarabs. Recent studies have shown a large amount of healthy humans, they are skeletons of course. Studies indicate that many of the injuries appear to be in an early stage of healing. This makes us come to the conclusion that new techniques and way of medicine were slowly starting to form and actually work. During this time, little evidence of malnutrition and infection has been discovered. We know for sure that the people went through lots of labor intensive jobs in the envrionment. These finding are important because we can further understand our historys past, socially and environmentally.
