The Egyptian archaeological team finds a lion mummy at a famous pyramid site
Egypt’s ancient antiquities ministry said archaeologists excavated the mummy in Sakkara, south of Cairo. The Ancient Ministry plans to release additional details about the discovery later this month. In 2004, the first lion skeleton was found, showing the sacred condition of the animal during ancient times.
A photographer and his musician were detained by Egyptian police after a photo shoot in Sakkara Necropolis last week.
Photographer Hausam Mohammed and dancer and model Salma al-Shimi were arrested on Monday in what local media described as a “proactive and insulting” shoot, in which Shimi was shot in front of an Egyptian-inspired pyramid of Jozar’s footsteps.

Prior to his arrest, Mohammed reportedly admitted that Shimi, who has more than 1,000,000 followers on Instagram, initially wore a robe when he entered the archeological site, but removed it when the time came for the shooting. He also said that some employees saw him and Shimi during the photo shoot, and not once but they did not request for both stops, according to Middle East Eye.
The man should pay attention to the talk of healing, saying that his wife has never been angry.
Shimi, however, told the plaintiff that she did not know that her action violated any rules, and instead argued that she was using her photographs to promote tourism.

According to The Guardian, Shimi also soon removed the photos from his personal Instagram account, although they have since been re-posted. A short video from the day of the shooting still appears on his ticket account.
The two were released on bail on Tuesday as the results of the investigation were pending, a Middle East Eye report said.
Meanwhile, Egyptian social media users gave mixed reactions, with some advising the couple and others wondering how her actions are more detailed than photos of fashion models or tourists.

Despite this, Mustafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, reiterated to an Egyptian news outlet that anyone who “disrespected” the sites would be caught.
