Facial reconstruction of the mummy Cairo CG 61076 from the Royal Mummies Cachette DB 320. A princess from the late 18th Dynasty?

In this paper, we investigate the anthropological aspects of the ancient Egyptian mummy Cairo CG 61076 found in the royal cachette of Deir el-Bahari (DB 320) and labelled as “Baqt” by reassessing the published literature and photographs and producing a facial reconstruction. As she is dated in the late 18th Dynasty and shows close morphological resemblance to female Royals from the Amarna period, she might well be one of the daughters of Akhenaton and Nefertiti (e.g. Meritaton or Ankhesenamun) or the enigmatic Baketaton.

South American Mummies – an Overview

The Meta-review study presents an overview of mummies in South America, arranged by country and museum, and gives a brief summary of the state of research. In comparison to Egypt, the mummies of South America often offer much more scientific potential because they have been studied less intensively.
