I have never seen a more intricate sarcophagus before. It was found just outside of Iskenderun (Alexandria) in the 1990's. It had never been looted so they found three bodies, 3 coins (to pay the boatman across the river Styx) and some jewelry on the woman. The sarcophagus is believed to have been covered up in one of the great earthquakes in the mid-6th century A.D.
