Waziri stated in a press statement that one of the found skulls shows multiple fractures, revealing that it has been hit by a sharp instrument and that it belongs to a warrior. 

He added that the other two skulls are intact and belong to men, pointing out that they will be subject to rays to identify their ages and face shapes.

The Armed Forces removed the cars in the area surrounding the sarcophagus to facilitate the entrance of the loader, which will be used for lifting the mysterious sarcophagus. 

Waziri remarked that experts from Upper Egypt have participated in opening the coffin; he further revealed that the red liquid was found to be sewage water that leaked inside the coffin through a crack in its eastern side, causing the decomposition of the mummies. 

In the same context, Alexandria Governor Mohamed Sultan told Egypt Today that the three mummies will be moved to the Alexandria National Museum, while the coffin will be transferred to the Military Museum located at the military northern region. 

Sultan explained that the Ministry of Antiquities will use sensor devices to detect the presence of more antiquities, and carry out studies on the discovered mummies to determine the era they belong to.

Three decomposed mummies were found in the sarcophagus, declared Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri. 

Waziri stressed that none of the three mummies belong to a Ptolemaic or Roman royal family and the coffin does not have inscriptions or a cartouche bearing their names. 

He further pointed out that no evidence such as silver or gold metallic masks, small statues, amulets or inscriptions were found to prove that the mummies belong to a royal family. 

In this regard, he denied the rumors spread by some international newspapers that opening the sarcophagus would unleash the curse that would bring disaster to the world.

"The sarcophagus has been opened, but we have not been hit by a curse," said Waziri, dismissing claims made by some UK media outlets about "possible curse" could be cast on the world in case the tomb was opened.
