The scientists who collaborated to make this discovery explain that the teenager was 15-16 years old when she died and that she was placed in a sarcophagus made from the trunk of a single tree that was painted with red pigments.

Archaeologists also explain that the mummy is in a rather poor state of preservation and that they discovered on it earrings, two rings and four necklaces placed in a pile on her chest. These necklaces were made of expensive materials, some of which were used to represent various deities. Researchers are surprised by the contrast between the jewelry discovered, quite expensive by weather standards, and the simplicity of the sarcophagus.

New discovery inside the Great Pyramid of Giza

Over the years, more and more voices have theorized that the Great Pyramid of Giza in hiding true network of tunnels and rooms which, however, have not been discovered by archaeologists.

Moreover, it was recently stated that there is clear evidence of an empty space that lies behind the northern part of this pyramid and a cavity unknown grows on the north-east structures that are completely separate from the main channels and graves inside pyramid.

Great Pyramid of Giza built for the Pharaoh Khufu was now more than 4,500 years and has a height of 146 meters, recorded the largest building in Egypt at that time.

A project called Scanning Pyramids, which brought together researchers from several universities, and technical companies from around the world, aims to investigate the pyramid in order to see what is inside it using non-invasive methods, scanning the the main method. Because this scan to be performed, they used infrared thermography, 3D simulation and muon radiography, for possible abnormalities in the structure. While infrared thermography method is used to determine variations in temperature in a given room, Muon radiography works like X-rays Regarding the latter method, one of the researchers in this project explains: "As X-rays pass through our body and our skeleton can be seen, these particles (muons) can pass through any structure, even through extremely tough stones. "

Using these methods, researchers have found a cavity known that has a depth of approximately 105 meters and is located in the outskirts of the north-east structure, another variant of a cavity under the entrance gate behind the face of the and north, however, there is no evidence that there is a close connection between them.

However, given that this project was initiated by scientists and not by archaeologists, the latter stated that these abnormalities are a result of building the pyramid. Furthermore, I believe that there is no room above.

The MYSTERY of the 1,000 bodies found in the swamps in northern Europe

Mummy,, known as Lindow Man "was discovered in 1984, in the English county of Cheshire (Photo: jameskonstanahr.weebly.com)

Miranda Aldhouse-Green argues his theory in his latest book entitled ,, Bog Bodies Uncovered ".

Since the eighteenth century, in the areas of moorland in northern Europe (including Ireland, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and especially Denmark), were found about 1,000 human corpses. Their age ranges, which are dated from the Stone Age until the beginning of World War II. Most of mummified bodies found in bogs belong to people who lived in the period between 700 BC - 200 AD

Over time, scientists have formulated several theories on how individuals discover died in bogs in northern areas of the Old Continent. Among the causes of death are taken into account after the accident occurred, sacrifices made during ceremonies led by druids or even executions of prisoners. In a new book, entitled ,, Bog Bodies Uncovered "British archaeologist Miranda Aldhouse-Green argues that the most likely conclusion is based on available evidence that the dead were victims of human sacrifice.

The best evidence to support this assumption is highly unusual way in which many of those buried over. An example of this is the mummy known as ,, Lindow Man. "Apparently, the victim, having an age at death of about twenty years, was led into the quagmire of the current English county Cheshire, wearing only a band of fur. After being hit in the head, man's throat was cut during strangulation with a cord. the whole scene took place around 60 AD

In support of his theory, Aldhouse suggests that might not be a coincidence that many of the bodies discovered in swamp shows signs of physical deformities, ranging from minor defects to deformities of the spine. Archaeologist believes that, due to these physical characteristics, the victims were selected for sacrifice because it is thought to possess supernatural powers.

In his book, Aldhouse recognize that the assumption that a formulated has some weaknesses. It gives historians as ancient sources such as Strabo and Tacitus, who described, wrongly, killings in bogs in northern Europe as ritual sacrifices. Moreover, archaeological evidence obtained so far can be attributed to the organization of ceremonies with spiritual character.

Frightful mysteries of ancient mummies were untied with X-ray scans

Updated 04/05/2020

Scientists have conducted a new study to see if some of the most popular myths about mummies or not a grain of truth.

"Mummification was practiced in Egypt for more than 3,000 years, and the practice was changed in different times and places. In the past, we have looked at one, two mummies and we get a conclusion, but now we have much more technology nondestructive and a wealth of medical information that we rely on, "said anthropologist Andrew Wade, from the University of Western Ontario.

In the next issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science, Wade and his teammate Andrew Nelson examined radiographs of a total of 84 mummies in museums around the world. Their goal was to approve or disapprove some of the oldest and strangest information on ancient mummies. This information was and that during mummification, rulers and their successors brains were removed through the nose. Another information is so that internal organs were removed from the rich mummies.

Following our analysis based on X-ray scans, it was found that the mummification process was more complicated than we imagine.

Part of the blame for this confusion Greek historian Herodotus gate which noted in 440 BCE a description of the mummification process, following a visit to Thebes. Then he wrote that during the mummification of the rich is made interventions to remove the internal organs and the brain. Instead, for the poor, who were buried without being wrapped in cloth, resorting to a cheap technique of dissolving parts.

"In fact, it seems that Tut's time, almost everyone could afford to be mummified," says Wade after analyzing mummies. Then Pharaoh Tutankhamen died around 1323 î.e.n, long before Herodotus, and after the death of Pharaoh, mummification became increasingly popular.

But sometimes things were happening and as described by Herodotus. For example, if the priest Nesperennub, looked at the British Museum with the help of a CT performance, it was found that during the mummification process and has been removed brain through the nostrils, and his organs, such as lungs were stored in containers.

However, other times, not performed in accordance with mummification Herodotus. Sometimes the lungs and other organs were left inside mummies, and the brains were removed only in certain cases. Moreover, there were cases where, for removing the brain was a hole in the place where the spine meets the head.

On the other hand they were discovered instances where the mummy's head was filled with resin, and scientists explain this by suggesting that it is possible that golden hue liquid resin to be associated with the sun and divinity. However, the brain was not receiving significant attention at the time. Instead, it was observed that the length of cloth used to wrap the deceased's head vary significantly from case to case, depending on who achieve process. Following investigations it was found that in some cases, are used for head and 55 meters of cloth.

Moreover, the study does not find evidence concerning what Herodotus describes as inexpensive technique which would have involved the use of cedar oil to dissolve the entrails of the mummy. Scientists believe that the substance would be too expensive for such use. Instead, they say for embalming animals would be used turpentine (liquid obtained by distilling pine resin). Therefore, it is possible that Herodotus to be confused with the animal conservation method used for humans.

A practice that seems to have been reserved for the elite is linked to heart organ which was the center of conscience and morality in Egyptian mythology. "The whole idea was you could enjoy the afterlife, and certainly for this you needed heart," said Wade.

However, the analysis indicated a significant lack of heart among mummies, which suggests that keeping the body in the afterlife was reserved for the elite. As the "Book of the Dead" is prohibited sharing secrets related to the procedure of mummification, Wade speculate that it could have that common people do not even have been aware of the fact that they remove the heart to allow them to of a privileged elite. Moreover, all heart, the confection shaped stone jewelry beetles that lived over organ.
