Every person who is alive in this world has only one desire, that when he dies, he should get a painless, peaceful death. Everyone may want an easy death, but not everyone gets such a death. When scientists found an ancient mummy in 1935, they were shocked, because looking at that mummy, it was clear that it must have got a painful death. Looking at that mummy (Screaming Woman Mummy), it seemed as if she was screaming. She was about 3500 years old and on examining her, scientists found out many surprising things.
According to the Daily Mail website, in 1935, scientists excavated the tomb of a great architect named Senmut in Egypt (Egypt Screaming Mummy). Senmut died in 1464 BC. A wooden coffin was found under the grave, which contained the mummy of a woman. The woman had a black wig on her head and wore silver and gold rings in the shape of scarab insects. But scientists were most surprised to see the expressions on the woman’s face.

Screaming woman found!
The mummy’s mouth was open. The scientists felt as if the mummy was dying in pain. This is why the mummy was named ‘Screaming Woman’. You must be thinking why we are telling such old things. Actually, now scientists have found out about the life and death of this mummy using advanced scientific techniques. Advanced scanning techniques revealed that the woman must have been lying face up, her legs must have been straight and her hands must have been folded over her thighs. Many of her teeth were broken, which must have fallen before her death. Her height must have been 5.05 feet.

age would have been 48 years
CT images have revealed that she must have been 48 years old at the time of her death. She must have also had a mild problem of arthritis in the spine. Scientists also found out that the woman must have been coated with substances like juniper and frankincense, which are very expensive and must have been brought to Egypt from foreign countries. Scientists claim that the way the rare substances were coated on the woman, it can be said that she must not have been mummified by novice people in a hurry. In such a situation, it would also be wrong to say that during the process of making the mummy, they must have forgotten to close her mouth.
Because of this the mouth may be open
Dr. Sahar Salim of Cairo University said that the woman’s open mouth could be due to cadaveric spasm. This is a kind of condition, when the muscles of a person suddenly become stiff at the time of death. This happens when the death is very painful and terrible. That is, the woman must have been given such a death that she would have started screaming in pain and her muscles would have become stiff, after which she could not be stopped. All these findings were first published in a journal called Frontier in Medicine. The cause of the woman’s death could not be ascertained. Heart, brain, liver, kidneys, intestines, everything was present in her body. This is more surprising because, in those times, before making a mummy, all the organs were removed except the heart.
