Egyptian archaeologist Monica Hanna says the German researchers wanted to use the samples prove their hypothesis in a documentary they later filmed, which says that the pyramids were built by a people that pre-dates the ancient Egyptians.
The online documentary, removed in the wake of the controversy, showed one researcher inside the inner chambers of the Khufu pyramid, taking samples from the king's cartouche.
Egypt has experienced a security vacuum since its 2011 uprising. Thousands of artifacts have been stolen.
综合外国媒体报道,埃及文物部长穆罕默德•易卜拉欣2月13日表示,西班牙考古学家在埃及古城卢克索发掘出一具3600年前的木乃伊。同日,埃及检方指控9人走私金字塔石刻样本,其中包括3名德国人。
当天,埃及文物部发表声明称,在埃及当局的协助下,一支西班牙考古队在尼罗河畔古城卢克索进行古墓挖掘工作时,发现了一具2米长的人形木石棺。这具棺椁上刻有象形文字,装饰有羽毛状排列的铭文。并且,尽管制作于公元前1600年,但时至今日棺椁上雕刻画作的着色和纹样仍保持原来的面貌。
易卜拉欣说,藏于棺椁里的木乃伊可能是当时的一位高官,不过其确切身份还有待考证。
同日,埃及检方将三名德国人告上刑事法庭,指控其走私、损毁文物,另有6名埃及人面临从犯指控。
