In Egypt, they found the mummy of a boy with 49 amulets decorated with various images, a tongue in his mouth and a scarab heart in his chest.

All these details were made of gold.

It is noted that the child died about 2,300 years ago.

Because of the huge number of decorations, the mummy was nicknamed the "golden boy".

The Guardian writes about it.

The team of specialists used computer tomography, which allowed them to examine the insides of the mummy without opening them.

Based on the degree of fusion of the bones of the skeleton and the absence of wisdom teeth in the mouth, the researchers assumed that the boy was 14 or 15 years old.

Using the latest advances in computed tomography, they also determined that he was uncircumcised.

According to experts, this is a relatively rare feature for mummies and suggests that the teenager may not have been Egyptian, which could be further evidence that foreigners were also mummified.

Commenting on the study, Professor Salima Ikram, head of the Egyptology department at the American University in Cairo, said: "The lack of circumcision is interesting because it may tell us something about his ethnicity - Egyptians were usually circumcised before the age of 13."

It will be recalled that a group of Egyptologists from Spain discovered two tombs in which there were almost 60

mummies.

It happened on the territory of the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor.
