A 2000-year-old sarcophagus has been opened in Egypt - revealing what appears to be the remains of a family of three. Egyptian archaeologists dashed local hopes that the 30-ton black granite coffin - the largest yet found in Alexandria - may contain the remains of Alexander the Great. "We found the bones of three people, in what looks like a family burial," Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, told reporters at the site.
