2600 yo mummy Takabuti reveals secrets

Mummy Takabuti was acquired in Thebes by a wealthy man named Thomas Greg from County Down in Northern Ireland in 1834. Greg donated Takabui to the Belfast Natural History Museum. Now, 185 years after she was first unwrapped, a team of experts have gone public with their revelations.

CT analysis on Takabuti reveals that the 20 something sustained a severe wound to the back of her upper chest wall. This likely caused her quick death. The mysterious object in her body cavity was a resin-soaked linen, believed to have been used to pack the wound. Takabuti had 33 teeth instead of 32, a phenomenon occurring in .02 percent of the population. The discovery of her heart is another surprise as in Ancient Egypt the heart would be removed in order to be "weighed" in the afterlife.
