WARSAW, April 29 (Xinhua) The examination of an ancient Egyptian mummy in the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw has revealed the world s first known case of a pregnant embalmed body, Polish researchers said on Thursday.
The discovery that the mummy, previously believed to be a priest, was actually a female, was made in 2016. But analysis of X-ray images uncovered a fetus in the mummy s womb, at around the 26th to 28th week of the pregnancy. We were ready to wrap up the project and file the paper for publication, anthropologist and archeologist Marzena Ozarek-Szilke of the University of Warsaw told Polish Press Agency.
