Dr. Zahi Hawass, an archaeologist and former Egyptian Minister of Archeology, and Dr. Sahar Selim, a professor of radiology at Cairo University who specializes in archeology ray, were able to solve the mystery of "the screaming woman's mummy" from the royal cache in Deir el-Bahari in the newly published study in one of the international scientific journals.
The research conducted by the two Egyptian scientists, using a CT scan, revealed severe stiffness in the coronary arteries of the heart, which led to the sudden death of the Egyptian princess in a heart attack. This is the full story.
In 1881 the royal cache of the monastery was discovered in Luxor, where the priests of the families 21 and 22 hid royal members from previous families to protect them from grave robbers.
The royal cache of the monastery of the monastery contained "the Mummy of the Stark Man", which has proven recent studies with CT scans and DNA carried out by Dr. Zahi Hawas and the scientific team of the Egyptian Mummy Project that "Mummy of the Stark Man" is Prince Pentawere, the son of King Ramses The third, who was forced to commit suicide by hanging as a punishment for his involvement in the killing of his father, King Ramses III, in what is known as the harem plot.
The murderous son was punished by not embalming his body and wrapping it with sheepskin, which indicates that he was considered "unclean" and his fate would be hell in the hereafter. While the other mummies were wrapped in white linen and carefully mummified.
The same royal cache in Deir el-Bahari contained a mummy of a woman showing signs of terror, pain and screaming on her face, known as the "screaming mummy of a woman." Her head tilted to the right side and her legs folded and wrapped at the ankle while the other mummies were closed mouth and laying straight in the body.
So what is the truth about the "blatant mummy of the woman" and how did she die? And why was it saved differently that had not been seen before? Did the blatant mummy of the woman meet the same fate as Pintawar, so she was punished with death and was not embalmed in a royal way like the rest of the princesses? To solve this mystery, Dr. Zahi Hawas and Dr. Sahar Selim, Professor of Radiology at Cairo University, carried out a study of "Mummy Women screaming" and examined it on a Siemens CT machine located in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Who is the owner of the screaming mummy of the woman?
Writings in the hieratic language on linen scrolls about the woman's blatant mummy refer to it as: "The royal daughter, the royal sister of Meret Amon." However, the mummy was considered unknown and was called "the mummy of the unknown woman a" where there were many princesses with the same name, for example Merritt Amun, daughter of King Sakan Ra of the end of the seventeenth Dynasty 1558 - 1553 BC), and Merritt Amun, daughter of King Ramses II (1279-1213 BC) from the nineteenth family.
And the results of CT scan by Dr. Zahi Hawas and Dr. Sahar Selim indicate that the woman's mummy screaming is of a woman who died in the sixth decade of age and that her body (and unlike the Pentawere) has received great care from the mummified people who removed the viscera and put Expensive materials such as resin and scented nutrients in the body cavity and used pure linen to wrap the mummy, so we assume that the circumstances of the death of the "woman's mummy unknown to him" were different from the case of the spotlight or "screaming mummy of the man", so when the mummified people could not put The princess’s body is in the state of lying down, and why were they unable to secure the mouth shut as was usual with the rest of the royal mummies…? What happened, so the mummifieds were prevented from completing their mission?
Computerized tomography results indicate that "the woman's mummy is unknown" was infected with severe degree of atherosclerosis, which affected many arteries of the body. Atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease that progressively affects the arterial wall, leading to a narrowing of the cavity and blockage of the blood vessel. And places of arteriosclerosis are determined in a CT scan as areas of high calcification within the arterial walls, which can be identified according to the location of the artery.
Previous studies by Dr. Zahi Hawass and Dr. Sahar Selim on the ancient Egyptian royal mummies resulted in the presence of atherosclerosis in some of them.
And ancient Egyptian medicine knew "heart attack" and linked it to death. Then I described the papyrus of ancient Egyptian medicine known as "Ebers" to address the doctor for more than 3500 years: "When examining a man who suffers from pain in his stomach, and suffers from pain in his arm and chest, this is a disease." (WAD) is equivalent to a heart attack. You must tell him that death is approaching. "
A CT scan of "the mummy of the woman unknown" showed that she had suffered from stiffness in the right and left coronary arteries, as well as the neck arteries and the abdominal and iliac aorta, as well as the arteries of the lower extremities and legs.
And many clinical studies have proven at the present time that coronary artery sclerosis is the main cause of sudden death in adults. Modern medicine is recommended in such a serious medical condition similar to the case of women crying mummy to give medicines that dissolve blood vessel clots and perhaps cardiac catheters and This is to prevent or limit damage to the heart muscle. And the study conducted by Dr. Zahi Hawas and Dr. Sahar Salim assumes that the coronary vascular thrombosis of the "mummy of the woman unknown" caused the damage of the heart muscle which led to her sudden death.
This study assumes that the princess died suddenly of a heart attack, and she is wearing the current body with her legs bent and wrapped at the ankle. The death caused the head to tilt to the right side and the jaw muscles to relax, which opened the mouth. Evidence indicates that the deceased remained long enough for several hours
