Merneptah's Sarcophagus: Biggest Ancient Egyptian Burial Box Identified Near 'Valley Of The Kings'

Made of red granite, the royal sarcophagus was built for Merneptah, an Egyptian pharaoh who lived more than 3,200 years ago. A warrior king, he defeated the Libyans and a group called the "Sea Peoples" in a great battle.

Cool pics.
