The Cairo riot of 1967 was one of 159 race riots that swept cities in the United States during the "Long Hot Summer of 1967". This riot began on July 17, 196

Inside the Egyptian Museum in Cairo… an unfinished granite sarcophagus preserves visible cutting marks left behind thousands of years ago. Its unfinished state continues to raise questions about how ancient Egyptian craftsmen shaped such hard stone… —and what techniques they may have used. One unfinished object… still inspiring debate today. #AncientEgypt #AncientEngineering #HistoryMystery #HiddenHistory #DidYouKnow
