Mummy from Ancient Egypt with the head wrapped in a strange linen weave Matteo Rubboli This mummy has her face covered with an intricate series of linen bandages, completely different from those regular horizontal stripes that we are used to associate with “traditional” mummies. The mummy had a series of funeral ornaments as a trousseau, including a large collar resting over the chest, a decorative apron resting on the legs, and a wrap over the feet. The Louvre Museum explains that several analyzes have been made to the mummy, including X-ray ones, which date the period of man’s life between 305 and 30 BC, therefore during the Ptolemaic period, and that the name must have been be Pachery or Nenu, even if there is no historical certainty about the authenticity of the words. It seems that the wealth of this mysterious protagonist of the past was immense, a detail that allowed him to equip himself with a sumptuous funeral kit and a mummification treatment very different from the traditional one. His mortal remains today rest very far from Ancient Egypt, in the center of the important Paris museum, the Louvre. Taken from Vanillamagazine.it
