Mummies of royal women
The mummies of royal women are well-preserved bodies of noble or royal females from ancient civilizations, notably Egypt. They were carefully embalmed and wrapped in linen to protect the body for the afterlife. These mummies help archaeologists learn about the culture, beliefs, and health of the past rulers. Often buried with valuable goods, they reflect the status and power of their owners. Studying these remains offers insight into ancient funerary practices and the lives of women who held significant social and political roles in their societies.
