Open an empty coffin in the museum, discover a 2,600-year-old mummy

Nicholson Museum (University of Sydney, Australia) has kept the Egyptian coffin for 150 years. A year ago, they opened it and panicked the bones and part of the mummy's leg.

When taken to the museum, the artifact is classified as an empty coffin, containing a small amount of rubble inside. Since the Egyptian coffin itself was a flawless artifact, people only focused on preserving it, not trying to open it because it could damage it.

A year ago, scientists opened the coffin for the first time in 150 years to conduct a study. Archaeological doctor Jamie Fraser, of the Nicholson Museum, said that when the coffin was opened, he was suffocated like someone hanged. In the mess there are remnants of a part of the marinated foot and some bone.

The discovery has just been published because scientists need time to study what they have just found. The initial results show that only 10% of the mummy body is in the coffin.

Dr. Fraser said the mummy was completely broken due to the ruthless search of grave thieves. The remains are only fragments, which is probably the reason the coffin was once thought to have no body inside. If I just looked at him, the inside of the coffin was more like a dirt and debris than a mummy. In addition to the remains, scientists also found some materials from burial clothes, scarves and bandages used to wrap mummies.

According to the coffin information, it could be the body of a woman named Mer-Neith-it-es . It is estimated that she died around 600 BC, 2,600 years ago. Scientists will use the method of dating antiquities using carbon radioisotopes to verify more clearly.
