Shocking revelation of the death of 5,500-year-old mummy

Through the image of the recent scanner, forensic experts of the British Museum affirmed that the famous Ginger was the victim of a savage murder.

Ginger is the name given to a natural mummy of an adult Greek man. Although he died about 5,500 years ago, almost this mummy remains intact with blond hair and nails and legs.

The image of the scanner on the victim's body was enlarged.

Ginger was found in Gebelein, Egypt in the late 19th century and is considered to be the oldest Egyptian mummy ever. Currently, Ginger mummy is on display at the British Museum.

To carry out their investigation, the researchers had to wrap the mummy carefully, then transport it to a hospital near the museum. By taking the mummy through a hospital scan machine within 30 seconds, they had enough data to conduct research. The three-dimensional image that the scanner captures allows scientists to alternately rotate, enlarge each detail to facilitate analysis.

Daniel Antoine, an autopsy researcher, said: "The body's left shoulder blade was slightly damaged. It can be seen that, cutting the ribs just below the shoulder blade was crushed and crumbled. It shows that the shoulder blades have suffered a great impact, which is the force of a strong arm that pierces through the lungs through a sharp blade.

After that, they came to the conclusion that the most famous mummy at the British Museum had been assaulted by an assassin under his left shoulder blade. Through the image of the scanner, forensic experts have confirmed that the mummy Ginger is the victim of a savage murder.

The wound under Ginger's left shoulder blade caused death.

In addition, the test results show that Ginger is a strong young man, aged between 18 and 20 when killed. Antoine added: 'Ginger was the victim of a sudden attack by a long, sharp-edged brass or flint blade.'
