guy Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) The finding of a “pregnant mummy” was incorrect (see below). These initial conclusions were based on X-ray and CT scan analysis. Further studies, however, suggest otherwise. The “fetus” in the mummy was, in reality, merely bundles (possibly with body parts) to maintain the shape of the body after the mummification process. According to the authors of the new article, the alleged discovery of the mummy's pregnancy resulted from an illusion caused by the phenomenon of pareidolia, a natural human desire to see familiar objects in random shapes.Warsaw mummy project Studies suggesting that this mummy died from cancer have not been refuted, so far. https://www.thefirstnews.com/article/ancient-egyptian-mummy-was-not-pregnant-says-new-research-32166 Edited August 3, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
