On December 14, 1987, a forgotten Egyptian mummy was discovered in Paris.
Thirty-eight years ago today, on December 14th, 1987 (October 24th, 1987 in the lunar calendar), an Egyptian mummy that had been forgotten for more than 100 years was found in Paris. On December 14th, 1987, Jean-Unger-Totti rediscovered an Egyptian mummy that had been forgotten for more than a century in the attic of the National Library in Paris. Totti was an expert who was keen on studying ancient Egyptian cultural relics. At that time, he was studying and trying to rediscover the remains of Cleopatre (69-30 BC), one of the seven most famous queens of ancient Egypt. It is said that the remains of this queen have been transported to France in the last century. It may be that when Paris was besieged in 1870, people buried it somewhere in Paris to avoid damage. While searching for the remains of Queen Cleopatre, the Egyptian antiquities expert accidentally saw a glass cabinet in a rarely accessed attic in the National Library of Paris, and found the naked mummy in it. This is a mummy from 116 AD. The deceased was very young and well preserved to this day. It is recorded that it was excavated in 1822 by Gaio, a French expert on Egyptian antiquities, in the Temple of Taibe in Egypt and brought back to France by him. Paris is one of the places with the most preserved ancient artifacts in Egypt. At present, three Egyptian mummies are on display to the public in Paris. Totti also said: "This mummy still has curly hair. There is a long incision in the lower abdomen, which proves that the internal organs of the deceased were taken out from there."
