Were Gold-Tongued Mummies Discovered in Egypt?

Origin
Archaeologists excavating a well-known burial site believed to be the final resting place of Cleopatra discovered a number of mummies dating back an estimated 2,000 years, some of which had golden tongues placed within their mouths.
Kathleen Martinez, of the University of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, reported that her team discovered 16 burial shafts at the Taposiris Magna Temple in western Alexandria. The find was shared in a Facebook post dated Jan. 29, 2021, and in a statement made by Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Taposiris Magna is an ancient town located on Lake Mariut in Egypt with a temple whose name implies that it was a tomb of Osiris, the Egyptian god of fertility and the afterlife. This nearly 100-foot-tall landmark has been theorized to be the final resting place of Queen Cleopatra, the Greek famed for her beauty who reigned over Egypt 2,000 years ago.

Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities said archaeologists excavated the mummy in Saqqara, a town south of Cairo.

Ancient Skeleton With A Golden Tongue Unearthed In Egypt

Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient Egyptian skeleton that was buried with a golden tongue placed in the mouth possibly so the deceased could charm their way into the afterworld.
Egypt s Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of this fancy-tongued skeleton last week along with 15 other skeletal remains and relics found at the temple of Taposiris Magna in western Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt. The haul of stunning findings dates back to the Late Period of Ancient Egyptian history when the Greeks and Romans ruled the kingdom, approximately 2,000 years ago.
As the Ministry notes, the gold tongue-shaped amulet was likely placed in the mouth of the deceased person during a special burial ritual to ensure their ability to speak in the afterlife before the court of Osiris, the god of the underworld. However, this practice appears to be extremely rare and there s very little record of similar discoveries from Egypt. ....
