The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In the past, archeologists used basic elements to dig the soil and start the excavations. Let's have in mind that the first Egyptian discoveries were made by the Napoleonic troops during their campaigns in North Africa, specifically, Egypt.
Then, archeologists from France and later Britain visited the zone to start their excavations projects based on the information, codes, and maps collected in those years.
It was until some French discovered the Rosetta Stone, close to Rosseta, Egypt, that archeologists could decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs. This allowed a full interpretation of the Egyptian scripture and made archeologists locate sites such as the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens in Luxor, Egypt. Places, where most of the tombs, have been found.
Once there, archeologists hired many people to start excavations and that is basically how they found the tombs and the mommies.
The Egyptian mummy project used CAT scans, a forensic technique to collect information about the gender and time of the mummies.
Modern-day techniques and state of the art technology have increased the finding of new discoveries in Egypt. We are talking about Computer Tomography or CT. It is a non-invasive technique that allows scientists and archeologists to study mummies and get valuable information because it uses a scanner that provides three-dimensional information without affecting the mummy.
