The screaming woman's mummy

 ?Who is this lady

After this matter was a mystery

Egyptian scientists were able to find out the mystery of the "mummy of the screaming woman" from the royal cache in Deir el-Bahari, as stated in a study recently published in one of the international scientific journals

...................................

The research carried out by Dr. Zahi Hawass, the former Minister of Antiquities, and Dr. Sahar Selim, a professor of radiology at Cairo University who specializes in archeology, revealed severe hardening of the coronary arteries of the Egyptian princess known as the screaming mummy, which led to her sudden death with a heart attack and the ancient Egyptian mummification preserved The one who placed her body at the moment of death for nearly three thousand years

 Here we show you the full story

In 1881, the royal cache of Deir el-Bahari was discovered in the city of Luxor, where the priests of the 21st and 22nd families hid two kings from former families to protect them from grave robbers who were after the mummies and their gold

It was also found in the same cache in Deir al-Bahari on the mummy of a woman on her face showing signs of pain and screaming. She was known as the "mummy of the screaming woman." Her head was tilted to the right side and her legs were bent and twisted at the ankles, unlike the position in which the other mummies were closed-mouthed and lying upright

?What is the truth with "the screaming woman mummy"

Why was it saved in a way that we haven't seen before? How she died

................

?Who is the owner of "the screaming woman mummy"

...............

The hieratic writing on linen scrolls about the mummy "The Screaming Woman" tells us that she is "the royal daughter, Merit Amun." However, the mummy was considered unknown, so it was called "the mummy of the screaming woman, as there were many princesses with the same name, for example Merit Amun, daughter of King Sqnen Ra from the end of the seventeenth dynasty (1558 - 1553 BC), and also Princess Merit Amun. Daughter of King Ramses II (1279-1213 BC) of the Nineteenth Dynasty

The results of the CT scan performed by Dr. Zahi Hawass and Dr. Sahar Selim show us that the mummy belonged to a woman who died in the sixth decade of life and that her body had received great care from the embalmers who removed the viscera and placed expensive materials such as resin and perfumed spices in the body cavity and used Immaculate linen wrapped in the mummy

CT scan results show that the "mummy of the screaming woman" was afflicted with severe arteriosclerosis, which affected many arteries of the body

...................

Doctors in ancient Egypt knew a "heart attack" and knew that it causes death. This is evidenced by the lines written from the Papyrus of Ancient Egyptian Medicine known as the Ebers Papyrus, in which it was addressed to the doctor more than 3,500 years ago: “When you examine a man suffering from pains in his stomach, and suffering from pain in his arm and chest, this is a disease of the valley (meaning a heart attack) ), You must tell him death is approaching him

A CT scan of the "screaming woman's mummy" confirmed that she had suffered from hardening of the right and left coronary arteries, as well as the arteries of the neck, the abdominal and iliac aorta, as well as the arteries of the lower extremities and legs

What a really tragic sad thing

...............

The study says that the coronary clot of the "screaming woman's mummy" caused heart muscle damage, which led to her sudden death from a heart attack

The death caused the head to tilt to the right side in this way and relax the jaw muscles, which led to the opening of the mouth. Evidence also indicates that the deceased lady remained for a long time in this position for several hours, before the body was discovered, and this led to spasticity that followed death to stiffening of the muscles and joints and to keep the mummy of the princess in the position of death that it was in, so the embalmed could not secure the mouth closing or Putting the body in a lying down state, as was the case with other mummies

It also appears that the embalmers did not intentionally neglect their work, but the circumstances of death were what led to the mummy being placed in this unusual suit

And the CT images showed that the embalmers did not extract the brain of the mummy either, because it still sees the brain inside the cranial cavity, but it tends to the right side and the reason is the position of the body on this side at death and after embalming

...............

This study carried out by Zahi Hawass and Dr. Sahar Selim on royal mummies, using CT scans, contributed to determining the features of mummification in different Egyptian families

This study tells us, by noting the characteristics of the mummification path of the screaming woman's mummy (such as not extracting the brain) that it may be Princess Merit Amun, the daughter of King Seknen Ra, from the seventeenth dynasty 1558-1553 BC, and not Princess Merit Amon daughter of King Ramses II (1279-) 1213 BC) from the Nineteenth Dynasty

Dr. Zahi Hawass, along with Dr. Sahar Selim and the rest of their scientific team, is undertaking the project to study the Egyptian mummy and make DNA reports on the mummy of the "screaming woman", and this may help confirm the identity of this Egyptian mummy
