A medley of mummies from Deir el-Bahari
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
The results of radiographic and visual examinations of four mummies originating from Deir el-Bahari, now kept in different museums throughout Egypt, are presented here. One individual dates to the Twenty-second Dynasty, and the remaining three date to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty, and were possibly related. Some of the mummies possessed amulets, with one individual having unusual accouterments in addition to the amulets.<br/><br/>
