Archaeologists find pregnant mummies from ancient Egypt

Recently a group of archaeologists made a very surprising discovery that began when they thought they scan the mummy of an ancient Egyptian male priest named Hor-Djehuty. During scanning, the image reveals what looks like a small leg bone. When completing the scanning, the team confirmed that the feet belonged to the small fetus in the womb of a dead mother and mummy.

Archaeologists said this was the first time a mummy pregnant woman who was deliberately found. Who is the mummy and why he was buried with the fetus still in the uterus was a mystery. Scientists have dubbed the mysterious mummy of the National Museum in Warsaw. Mummy and Sarcophagus were donated to Warsaw University in 1826 and lived in the National Museum in Warsaw since 1917.

The archaeologists learn it does not know why the fetus is not removed from the stomach during mummification. Initially, the complicated sarcophagus leads scientists to believe that mummies are women. However, in 1920 the name on Sarcophagus was translated, revealing the name Hor-Djehuty.

Who was in Sarcophagus a question in 2016 when computer tomography revealed the mummy was not a man. The researchers believe that at some point in the 19th century, different mummies can be placed in Sarcophagus in an effort to forward it as a more valuable artifact.

Scientists say it is impossible to know exactly who is or if he comes from the area where the coffin is found. They knewhe was a mummy with significant care and a set of fetish which showed that he was someone who was important. The woman died more than 2000 years ago between the ages of 20 and 30, and the development of the fetus suggested that she was between 26 and 30 weeks. This team analyzes soft tissue to try and determine how he died.
