Last year, archaeologists presented an incredible first: the discovery of a mummified fetus within the abdomen of its mummified ancient Egyptian mother.
"This process of bone demineralization in an acidic environment can be compared to an experiment with an egg,"."Picture putting an egg into a pot filled with an acid. The eggshell is dissolving, leaving only the inside of the egg and the minerals from the eggshell dissolved in the acid."
The results suggest that perhaps other pregnant mummies might be hiding in plain sight in other museum collections. Scans of mummies are usually identifying bones, and amulets tucked inside their wrappings. By looking carefully at soft tissues, other such mummies might be identified. ."It is still difficult to draw any conclusions as we do not know if this is the only pregnant mummy. For now, it is definitely the only known pregnant Egyptian mummy."
