Archaeologists from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Egypt discovered mummies with golden tongues.
This is written by Heritage Daily.
Unusual mummies were discovered during excavations.
Archaeologists sought to expand the research area of the Kuveysin necropolis.
This is a burial site in northern Egypt, where hundreds of tombs from different periods of history are located.
During the excavations, scientists discovered mummies with a golden tongue.
It was like an amulet and placed in the mouth of the dead.
It is believed that this attribute was placed on the dead so that they could communicate in the afterlife.
Burials with such golden tongues have already been found.
Such mummies were discovered in February and December 2021.
At that time, specimens were found in the temple of Taposiris Magna in Alexandria and on one of the sites near the modern city of El-Bahnasa.
During the previous excavations in Kuweis, archaeologists discovered hundreds of tombs, stone coffins and a huge coffin made of black granite.
It will be recalled that Campbell Price from the University of Manchester debunked the old myth that the ancient Egyptians turned the bodies of the dead into
mummies
for their preservation.
He believes that this elaborate burial technique was actually a way to transform the deceased person into a being close to the gods and make them divine as well.
