Archaeologists in Egypt discover mummified crocodiles dating back over 3,000 years near Aswan. Found in sacred sites dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, the remains provide insight into ancient Egyptian religious practices. Unlike typical linen-wrapped mummies, many crocodiles were preserved naturally, some measuring up to three meters. Dating back to 1000 BCE, these mummies predate widespread animal mummification, shedding light on early Egyptian beliefs and interactions with the natural world. Ongoing research may unveil ancient embalming techniques and symbolic meanings behind the presence of crocodile eggs alongside the remains.
