CAIRO, May 19 (Xinhua) -- In a corner of the Textile Hall of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), a weathered clay coffin is placed under protective glass. Its earthy texture and fragile walls hint at the centuries it has endured beneath Egypt's sands. Inside lie skeletal remains, faint but solemn, accompanied by a modest pottery vessel -- testimonies to a life millennia ago.
