New Insights into Death of 3,500-Year-Old Egyptian 'Screaming Woman' Mummy
Aug 2, 2024, 07:06 AM
Researchers have uncovered new insights into the death of an ancient Egyptian mummy known as the 'Screaming Woman.' Found wearing a black wig and with a 'screaming' expression, the mummy is believed to have died in excruciating agony approximately 3,500 years ago. Initial theories suggested the expression was due to sloppy embalming, but new analysis indicates she may have died wailing in pain. The mummy was discovered 90 years ago, and recent studies using cutting-edge instruments have revealed the horrific nature of her death.
