Discovery in what is known as the temple of Pharaoh Thutmosis III on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor.
Studies[]
Believed to have been a female aristocrat in her 30s.
After a ceiling collapse, a large boulder had fallen before anyone could loot the tomb, it crushed and buried the untouched coffin of the woman with all its contents.
The jewelry found included a gold-plated necklace, a golden pendant, two silver ankle bracelets, and two golden wrist bracelets.
Pathology[]
The mummy was almost entirely destroyed by the fallen stone of a collapsed ceiling.
