Recent CT scans at Chicago's Field Museum have unveiled remarkable details about Lady Tjenet-aa, a noblewoman who lived 3,000 years ago. She died in her late 30s or early 40s, belonging to the upper class of ancient Egyptian society. Her worn teeth suggest a diet containing sandy bread, common in ancient Egypt.
Her seemingly seamless cartonnage coffin revealed sophisticated craftsmanship - carefully sewn together and covered with plaster. Inside her mummy, researchers discovered preserved organs accompanied by wax figures of "Sons of Horus," indicating the ancient Egyptians' belief in bodily resurrection in the afterlife.
This meticulous burial process demonstrates advanced mummification techniques and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt.
