Featured Egyptian Mummies

 

 

King Tut: Many historians and researchers believe that Tutankhamun was murdered. Follow this link to explore some recent articles concerning the latest autopsy reports.

KV-63: New Intact Tomb: This undisturbed tomb is quite sensational because it is a recent (and unexpected) discovery in the Valley of the Kings, about 50 feet from King Tut's tomb. 

Natsef-Amun: A mystery mummy of an Egyptian priest who had an unusual tongue...at least in death.  

Padihershef: The first complete Egyptian mummy to tour the United States...way back in the 1800s. He had quite a life--and death.

Rameses I: The mummy of the long lost king ended up in a small museum in Niagara Falls before it was purchased by the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta. Now he's back in Egypt at long last.

Senbi the Scribe: His mummified head is all that remains, beside his bare bones. He lives at the Cleveland Museum of natural History, but his home is a box in the back room. But you can see him at the Mummy Tombs.

Valley of the Golden Mummies: A major discovery at the Bahariya Oasis, this site is an ancient cemetery filled with 2 square miles of tombs.
