Incredibly Unique Mummy Found Inside Burial Site In Egypt
German and Egyptian archaeologists found an ancient funeral parlor in Egypt. The rectangular building the scientists stumbled upon was considered to be a mummy workshop, one of the main indicators being hundreds of ceramic bowls that stored various oils and substances used in a mummification process. The workshop’s open courtyard had a 100-feet-long tunnel that led to burial chambers with dozens of mummies. One of the biggest findings in those chambers was a sarcophagus that belonged to a lady named Tadihor. The sarcophagus was surrounded with dozens of protective figurines that had her name inscribed on them. That mummy had a silver mask placed on her face, which, according to historians, held a deep religious meaning, since Egyptian religious texts indicate that bones of gods are made of silver and gold. A mummy carrying a silver mask meant that the deceased person is beginning a transformation into a god after her death.
