While I agree, what the hell would this be a stock picture for

Yes. That right. One such large animal tomb is called the Serapeum and it is located 40kilometers south of Cairo. It's near the Step pyramid.

There is recent funding to excavate more places, like it was not available before.
Egypt is full of mystery and history, and as long as the projects are well funded new discoveries will be happening.

Majority of ancient Egypt is covered by sand. The government gets to decide who can and cannot dig and where.

Everything slowly gets covered by sand and soil. Now we have new technology such as LiDAR aerial imagery to mass scan giant tracks of land from a plane. There have been many discoveries made by people simply zooming into google earth and noticing a building footprint lol.

I was wondering what the difference was between mummified sheep heads and skulls, cause those looked like normal sheep skulls. Then I thought perhaps my phone wasn’t able to discern enough details to make the mummification visible.

What good is there to being reborn in the afterlife if you can't bring your cat or dog with you :)

must be a stock picture. either that or they have different definitions of words like skulls and mummies. those are skulls, not mummies.
