Braided hair of Anhapu, New Kingdom

Braided hair of Anhapu, New Kingdom.
The hair from an area of roughly 4 square centimetres was separated and plaited for a distance of about 0 m 03 cent., then divided into three (or more) wisps each of which was tightly plaited in the form of an ear of wheat. The common plait and the stalks of the "ears of wheat" were then thickly smeared with a paste, apparently a resinous material. [7]

Tutmosis I

La momia fue encontrada por G. Maspero y E. Smith, junto con otras momias del escondrijo real. Pero la verdad es que la identificación es muy discutida porque piensan que puede ser alguien de la familia real, pero no, Tutmosis I
En estudios a la momias concluyeron que tenia unos 50 años al fallecer  y que el proceso de momificación fué muy elaborado. Mide la momia 1,55 metros . Rostro sereno y cráneo estrecho. En las orejas tenia resina y en los orificios de la nariz, que estaban dilatados se encontraban unos tapones de resina.
La incisión en el costado izquierdo se hizo de forma vertical. Los órganos genitales se habían amputado, encontrándose dentro de los vendajes

mummy of a female

The mummy of a female who was approximately nineteen years old when she died. The external bandages are worn and discoloured, the contours of the head and body were modelled before the external wrappings were applied and the eyes and mouth were painted on. Each digit was wrapped seperately and those bandages on the feet were arranged to imitate sandals.The forehead is encircled by a linen fillet which leaves the shaven crown of the head exposed, traces of rosette and feather patterns still remain on a wide belt of painted linen at the waist. A framework of palm-fibre tightly bound with linen thread hangs around the neck threaded with small amulets, some of which are missing but those that remain are of wood and still retain traces of gilding.

Autopsy carried out in Far East on world's oldest dog mummified by ice

Autopsy carried out in Far East on world's oldest dog mummified by ice

By Anna Liesowska18 June 201512,000-year-old remains of puppy were discovered perfectly intact sealed inside permafrost
Scientists in the Russian Far East have carried out a post-mortem examination of the remains of the only mummified dog ever found in the world.

Found sealed inside permafrost during a hunt for traces of woolly mammoths, the perfectly-preserved body is 12,450 years old.

The dog, believed to be a three-month-old female, was unearthed in 2011 on the Syallakh River in the Ust-Yana region of Yakutia, also known as the Sakha Republic.

Experts spent the past four years analysing the body – which included not just bones but also its heart, lungs and stomach – but only carried out the long-awaited autopsy in April.

It took place at the Institute of Medicine within the North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, and experts say the results will 'greatly help' the research of ancient dog species.

Indeed, the study could prove if the animal was an ancestor of modern-day domestic pets.
Dr Darima Garmaeva, professor of the NEFU Medical Institute, said: 'Our task is to estimate the preservation of the ancient animal tissues at the macro and micro level.

'What is of real interest is the fact the animal has a completely preserved carcass, which is unique by itself, with nothing like it in the world. Although the tissues are mummified, they have no post-mortem decomposition, as it usually happens with biological material.'

The mummified puppy was found by brothers Yury and Igor Gorokhov, about 42 kilometres from their home in the village of Tumat, as they were looking for mammoth tusks.

They got in touch with scientists at NEFU and the unidentified remains were excavated before the experts said they belonged to a dog.

It is believed the animal – which was named the Tumat dog, after the village – had died in a landslide at the water's edge and analysis aged it to about 12,450 years.
From 2011, a number of international scientists, including specialists from Belgium, Canada and Germany, became involved in examining the remains.

In August 2014, Dr Mietje Germonpre, from the palaeontology department of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, travelled to Yakutsk to see them.

She said at the time: 'After studying the mummy and looking at the measurements of the skulls belonging to ancient dogs and wolves, I can say this find is unique.

'It's amazing. In other museums around the world you will only find the remains of adult dogs, but this is a puppy. Also all external signs and scan results indicate that it is a primitive dog, and at the moment it is the most ancient one found in northern Siberia.

'The oldest dog remains were found in the Goyet cave in Belgium, and were 36,500 years old, and there are many finds dating to about 26,000 years ago - but they are not so well preserved. Here we see the skin and wool and even the internal organs survived.'
The Belgian said the animal is the 'oldest mummified dog in the world' and said scientists hope it will help chart the ancestry to today’s domesticated canines.

It could be that it belonged to an early domestic breed that lived with the people of Central Asia and went on to settle in the American continent.

'There are two main theories,' said Dr Germonpre. 'The first is that dogs arrived near sites where humans lived and picked up the scraps and gradually they co-existed. The second version talks about the active involvement of man, where the people themselves were the initiator of the relationship, and brought the puppies to their home and trained them.

'The data that I have accumulated speaks in favour of the latter theory. Now we can get more arguments.'

During the post-mortem at Yakutsk, the experts found parts of the dog’s insides intact, including remains of the heart, liver, lungs, and part of the intestine as well as the stomach, complete with its contents.
What intrigued them most was that two pieces of twigs, about one centimetre in length, were found inside the stomach. One theory is that as the puppy fell to its death from the landslide it attempted to grab onto nearby plants with its mouth.

A further examination of the stomach will take place in the autumn, while some tissue samples have also been passed on to Tohoku University in Japan for analysis.

Sergey Fedorov, head of the Tumat dog research project, said: 'Near the place where the dog was found local people often find things that obviously belonged to ancient humans, such as stone implements and bone arrowheads.

'We plan to go to the site this summer together with the archaeologists to find any traces left by humans - and possibly the owners of the dog.'

Mummy in the shape of a fish

Mummy in the shape of a fish, wrapped in linen bandages. The eyes are black painted circles and ring-shaped traces indicate the gills and the beginning of the tail. An X-ray examination of the mummy would be needed in order to determine its contents; from the outside appearance alone it is impossible to tell what kind of fish it is. Experience with other animal mummies, however, has shown that it is not even certain if we are dealing with a mummy of a fish or with that of another animal.

Shire stela of Amenhotep III and Tiye

 Shire stela of Amenhotep III and Tiye

From the house of Panehsy, Tell el-Amarna, Egypt
18th Dynasty, around 1340 BC

Probably from a domestic shrine

The reign of King Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) (1352-1336 BC) brought a very different style of art to Egypt for a few years. This is clearly associated with the religious changes which Akhenaten started, centred around the cult of the sun disc, known as the Aten. Features of this style include the use of more relaxed poses, accentuated stomachs and heads, and the motif of the sun disc with its life-giving rays.
In the new theology of Amarna, Akhenaten was the sole intermediary of the Aten, and thus all addresses to the deity had to go through him. Houses contained small shrines to the king for this purpose. The shrine in the house of Panehsy contained this plaque that unusually shows Akhenaten's father, Amenhotep III (1390-1352 BC) beneath the sun disc, in the style usually confined to Akhenaten and his officials, though Amenhotep III did identify himself with the sun in the later years of his life.
The name of the old god Amun was proscribed on monuments of the Amarna Period, and so Amenhotep III is identified here by his throne name Nebmaatre.
