Weird News blog of today, Monday, January 30, 2023: 2300 years old mummified boy adorned with 49 protective amulets and a golden mask
2300 years old in Egypt mummified boy was adorned with 49 protective amulets and a golden mask to guide him in the afterlife in our Weird News blog of today. The “golden boy” was buried in a decorated sarcophagus (right) and found wearing a gold mask (left).
The remains were first uncovered in 1916 at a cemetery called Nag el-Hassay used between approximately 332 BC and 30 BC in southern Egypt, according to the Weird CNN report.
When researchers scanned the mummy, they spotted 49 amulets with 21 different designs, including a golden tongue placed inside the mouth and a golden heart scarab located in the chest, which ancient Egyptians believed could aid in the transition to the afterlife.
The young man, thought to have been between 14 and 15 years old, also wore a gilded head mask inlaid with stones and a protective covering called a cartonnage across his torso. All of his organs had been removed, with the exception of his heart, and his brain replaced with resin.
Researchers discovered the amulets placed on and inside the body of the mummified “golden boy” when they used computerized tomography scans to digitally unwrap the remains without disturbing them.
Thousands of preserved bodies, many still inside their original coffins, were excavated in Egypt in the 19th and early 20th centuries before being moved to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
