Martin Bommas the project director and director of the Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, said that a fragment of a funerary mask was found inside a tomb, a small metal amulet showing the god Khnum, and a large quantity of pottery, some of which are still preserved, Which dates back to the late era. The Director General of the Aswan Antiquities said that all the finds discovered were transferred to the storehouse in Aswan.

Director General of Alexandria Antiquities and Head of the mission, Khaled Abul Hamd, referred to the discovery of two corpses, one of which was for a middle-aged woman wearing a copper ring.

The bodies were found next to a wall and close to a used oven. The place might have been used by the poor to bury their dead after it had been abandoned.

Ps: Notice the fact that none of these corpses have been shown to the public. Aswan is located in Upper Kemet, in the South, the heartland of the Kemetic civilization. Most discoveries that are highlighted by mainstream media are from the North in the Delta region or in middle Egypt. The Areas where invaders lived and where they became the majority population during the late periods. The mummies of Upper Kemet have more chances to carry tropical/Nubian features. Which means that they look like black Africans and this is problematic for those who claim that the ancient Kemites were not indigenous Africans.
