In new evidence for the ancient Egyptian genius in the field of mummification, a practical experiment conducted today, Saturday, on one of the mummies discovered at Saqqara exploded a huge surprise. Where a specialized team opened one of the coffins discovered for the first time in front of the world and examined it with X-rays, where it was found that the age of the owner of the mummy ranged between 40 and 45 years, and the age was known through radiological examination of teeth and a broken nose was detected.
Mustafa Waziri, world secretary of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, attributed this to the fact that the ancient Egyptian used to perform this fracture to empty the brain and mummify it. A lateral surgical hole was also discovered, through which the viscera were emptied before the mummification process, while the examination also revealed the presence of a torsion in the spine and that it was returned possibly during mummification. The mummy of this person also appeared to be in the casket specially designed for him with the complete body of the deceased person, and the examination confirmed that the person’s heart muscle is still present, that the body structure is intact, and the length is about 165 centimeters.
From all this exciting information that was revealed through an X-ray examination, Mustafa Waziri suggested that the history of this mummy will go back to the Ptolemaic period.
It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism announced today a new archaeological discovery in the Saqqara region, which includes 100 coffins and 40 statues with gold masks. The important archaeological discovery was announced at a press conference in Arabic and English, in the presence of a large number of representatives from news agencies, international newspapers and international television networks.
