A mummy from ancient Egypt, who lived 3,500 years ago, has caught the attention of researchers. This mummy, known as the "Screaming Woman," appears to be frozen in a state of agony, as if she was screaming at the moment of her death. Discovered in 1935, the mummy belonged to a woman who wore a black wig and carried valuable rings. Scientists have examined the mummy using the latest technologies. Research has shown that the woman was around 48 years old, 1.54 meters tall, and suffered from mild spinal arthritis. The use of expensive materials in the mummification process suggests that she may have been an important figure. Dr. Sahar Saleem has suggested that the expression on the woman's face could be a result of "cadaveric spasm," indicating a violent and painful death. Interestingly, unlike the mummification tradition of that time, the woman's internal organs were not removed. This raises new questions about why and how the mummy ended up in this state. This study, published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, provides new insights into life and death in ancient Egypt. However, the cause of death of the "Screaming Woman" still remains a mystery.
