This is on top of the big mud hill at the ruins of the old city. These are touted as the "Mummies" of Mut. The hill is basically a cemetary where bones
are scattered everywhere, human and other animals. The tombs are not only wide open, but starting to deteriorate to the point of having skulls rolling into the streets below,
where you can see the kids kicking them and using them as soccer (non USA - football) balls.
Can't really blame the kids though, it is a very, very poor city and the families really can't afford actual "balls".
The other thing about these tombs, if you look closely at the photo, is that you can see cloth from not too old shrouds... as well as having some meat still on certain bones in the cemetary.
When I showed these photos to a guide from Mut, he insisted these weren't human bones...sorry, but that's a human skull.
Taken in the town of Mut, Dakhla Oasis, Egypt.
