It is unlikely that the spherical shape is the head of a fetus because the bones of the fetus's skull are not fused, so the skull must collapse and the fetal head cannot retain the spherical shape as in the results of the research.
The Polish study considered that the oblique semi-circular part is the head of the fetus, and this seems to be a false hypothesis. The mass in the womb of this mummy cannot be considered a fetus because it completely lacks any structural or anatomical characteristics of a fetus and does not contain any bones. The hypothesis that the embalming salts (natron) outside the womb preserved it is a false hypothesis, as salts are never sufficient to preserve the fetus inside the womb or prevent it from rotting.įrom the examinations of thousands of ancient Egyptian mummies preserved in Egypt and in museums around the world, no scientist has ever found a pregnant uterus inside a mummy. The presence of bacteria leads to decomposition after death and the survival of the pregnant uterus inside the mummified body leads to the inevitable decomposition of the body.įor the same reason, ancient Egyptian embalmers always removed the internal organs, and would not have left a womb carrying a fetus inside the body, so as not to damage the corpse. Selim's detailed response confirmed that the pregnant uterus is a very fertile material for bacteria. She added that these results contradict the natural stages of decomposition and the mummification process, according to the method used by the ancient Egyptians. Selim refuted that the presence of a fetus inside a mummy had been witnessed before, as it is incompatible with the Egyptian methods of embalming.
Selim's scientific reply was published in the same scientific journal that published the Polish research in January 2022, after having been approved by 3 specialized arbitrators. Selim confirmed that the mummy's pregnancy is "false". In 2022, Sahar Selim, professor of radiology at Cairo University and an expert on mummies, revealed a new surprise about the mummy. The researchers found that the mummy was between 26 and 30 weeks pregnant when she died. The fetal head was measured to ascertain the number of weeks the woman had been pregnant. X-rays also showed that the woman died when she was between 20 and 30 years old. X-rays showed that the remains of a woman who died 2,000 years ago contained a fetus. In May 2021, it was published in the Journal of Archaeological Sciences that an X-ray was performed on the mummy of an Egyptian woman.
Every now and then a new study appears shedding light on a discovered artifact or a mummy of a king or a queen.Ī recent study conducted by Polish scientists on the ancient Egyptian mummy displayed in the Warsaw Museum, and known as the "Pregnant Mummy", revealed astonishing information. CAIRO – 2 August 2022: The life of ancient Egyptians remains the focus of researchers and scientists around the world.
