Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The researchers also explained how the fetus’ bones likely underwent a demineralisation process due to acidification of the \u201cmother’s\u201d body. A team of researchers has managed to uncover the mystery behind a preserved fetus that was found inside a mummy of an ancient Egyptian woman.<\/p>\n

According to ScienceAlert, the research by the Warsaw Mummy Project postulates that the fetus was preserved due to the acidification of the woman’s body during the decomposition of the latter, and compares the process to pickling an egg.<\/p>\n

The media outlet also notes that while radiologist from Cairo University named Sahar Saleem previously questioned the discovery of the fetus, pointing out that no fetal bones were detected in the mummy’s scans, the researchers, led by bio-archaeologist Marzena O\u017carek-Szilke of the University of Warsaw in Poland and archaeologist Wojciech Ejsmond of the Polish Academy of Sciences, argue that these bones were demineralized due to acidifying processes in the mummy’s body.<\/p>\n

These results may hint at the possibility of other \u201cpregnant mummies\u201d being out there, as scans of such human remains usually identify bones and \u201camulets tucked inside their wrappings,” the media outlet adds.<\/p>\n
