Bashiri mummy, one of the greatest secrets of ancient Egypt, has attracted the attention of scientists for more than a century. However, no expert has dare to intervene in this mummy, known as “untouchable”. What makes it so special and mysterious is that the mummification technique is unique and has not been seen anywhere before.
Bashiri mummy was found by the famous Egyptian scientist Howard Carter in 1919 in the Valley of the Kings in Luksor three years before King Tutkhamun discovered his grave. This discovery made a significant contribution to the work to reveal the unknowns of ancient Egypt at that time.
The bandages surrounding the mummy were wrapped in a complex and aesthetic arrangement that resembled the famous pyramids of Egypt. This attentive hugging style reveals that Bashiri has a very special and important place in ancient Egyptian society. However, this impressive bandageing creates an obstacle for scientists. Because opening the mummy by touching the windings can damage this unique mummification technique and destroy it in an irreversible way.
Scientists benefit from modern technologies instead of directly intervening to solve the mystery of Bashiri mummy. With CT scans and techniques such as x -ray, more information about the physical structure of the mummy. These investigations revealed that Bashiri was once a man of about 1.5 meters tall.
Bashiri’s story: identity is still a secret

Research dates the Bashiri mummy to the Ptolemy period between the 2nd century BC and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. This was a period in which the art of mummification reached the peak and the funeral rituals were applied in detail. The mummy offers a unique example of the funeral ceremonies during the Ptolemy period and is currently on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The complex winding pattern on the face of the mummy is likened to the architectural design of the Egyptian pyramids. This design suggests that this individual has been respectful in society and that he is respectful to him. There are also pictures of the goddesses of Isis and Nephthys in the apron on the mummy, four sons of the kingdom of Horus, and the paintings of the funeral god Anubis. These details indicate that Bashiri is a high -status, rich and effective individual.
Despite all these findings, the true identity of Bashiri mummy is still a secret. What is the name or its place in Egypt history is not known. Scientists are trying to understand their identity without opening the mummy; Because this unique mummification technique is a priority target.
