In newly discovered tombs in Egypt, white archaeologists believe they have found four human sacrifices that may have been buried alive, the remains of a total of seven people, and 'a cow's head carved from flint'.
The discovery could add greatly to the elusive knowledge of pre-dynastic Egypt.
The find is the largest funerary complex yet, and dates from the earliest era of ancient Egypt more than 5,000 years ago.
The remains survived despite the fact that the tombs were plundered in ancient times.
The necropolis was discovered in the Kom al-Ahmar region, around 600 km (370 miles) south of the capital, Cairo.

"Predates the Pyramids", at 5,000 years old. LOL! Please discount all that Hawass says. He is the official mouthpiece. They would like a much more recent date for the civilization of that area than the one pointed to by the artifacts.

Supposedly the Egyptians sacrificed red haired men to some god. I wonder if these mummies have red hair?
Oh, this says the red heads were burned.
...The Hyksos in Egyptian Mythology were associated with the figure of Set or Seth9. The Egyptians considered the god Seth to be essentially a negative figure connected with the desert and with waste places. In Scripture SETH (Genesis 5;3) was born in the likeness of Adam the first man and from him was descended Noah and all of humanity. Even so, in Hebrew tradition SETH could be considered a specifically HEBREW ancestor due to the idea that the Hebrews were inheritors of a God-given birthright. The Hebrews saw themselves as obligated to remain as close as possible to the original master plan entailed in the creation of man. Therefore, they were the true inheritors of Adam the first man as transmitted to Seth whereas the rest of humanity due to idolatry had diverged from the primary path10.
The Egyptians equated Seth with the Phoenician Baal especially under the aspect of Baal Zephon11 who was called "TYPHON" by the Greeks12 and ultimately identified with the god Saturn*51.
[Both names have Hebrew origins, Typhon comes from Tsafon meaning hidden and Saturn comes from sater also meaning hidden or secret]. The Israelites in later Greek and Roman mythological terms were also to be equated somehow with Saturn as were the Celts of Britain. The Egyptians called Seth the "Bull of Retenu"14 meaning the Bull of Canaan.. Seth was considered to be the only god of the Hyksos. According to Plutarch ("Isis and Osiris", ch.73) Seth was identical with Typhon and he says that the Egyptians "used to burn men alive calling them `Typhon's followers`". This equation was confirmed by Diodorus Siculus (1;88;5) who said that every year red bulls were sacrificed by the Egyptians, "Because it is thought that this was the colour of Typhon..Men, also, if they were of the same colour, as Typhon were sacrificed, they say, in ancient times"....

Hi Friends
I am really interested in the information you are saying, but i had never heard of such thing. I am a student in the faculty of monuments and i studied earlier that the kings and queens were usually buried with their loyal servants and assistants and this was regarded as an honor for the servants. Thus they were killing the loyal servants and bury them with the king and this may be the real reason behind finding those human bodies. Where as the mummified animal is due to worshiping that animal in one of the phases through out history. If you wanna know more about this topic you can visit
