Severed Hands Discovered in Ancient Egypt Palace | LiveScience A
team of archaeologists excavating a palace in the ancient city
of Avaris, in Egypt, has made a gruesome discovery. The
archaeologists have unearthed the skeletons of 16 human hands
buried in four pits. Two of the pits, located in front of what
is believed to be a throne room, hold one hand each. Two other
pits, constructed at a slightly later time in an outer space of
the palace, contain the 14 remaining hands. They are all right
hands; there are no lefts.
