LOL that would have been under the
Fatimid Caliphate centered in Cairo. A huge chronological miss, when you consider that Muhammad had already come, there had already been a caliphate in Damascus, another one in Baghdad, and the Fatimid caliphate in Cairo was contemporary with the Umayyid
caliphate of Cordoba in Spain.

The coffin of the singer belonged to the daughter of a high priest during the 22nd Dynasty.

How is it possible that a human writing this article (or more likely compiling it from press releases/local news stories) doesn't immediately see that discrepancy? You don't have to be an expert to know that Dynastic Egypt ended long before the Middle Ages, surely. For the record, the 22nd Dynasty dates to between 945 and 712 B.C., so they can't even claim it was a typo and that they meant to say 1,100 B.C. instead of 1,100 years ago.

Yep. 22nd dynasty was famous for
Sheshonq, during the Kings period of the Old Testament. That was considerably longer than 1,100 years ago.
