A pregnant ancient Egyptian mummy from the 1st century BC uncovered in Poland. Find out more here…
A what found where!
@somecunttookmyurl @rudjedet is this… For real?? Portland? Lol
I had to share with y'all.
Awkward caption. The mummy is Egyptian albeit currently in Poland, but was thought to be a male priest for years because that is what the coffin said. When they scanned her, they saw she was actually a woman, in her third trimester of pregnancy when she died.
Interestingly, she was initially sold as “the lady of Thebes”, so we’re looking at coffin reuse here. We’re however unsure if this was an ancient reuse, or a more modern one where the seller slapped her in an empty coffin in the 1800s.

Agriculture in the Fertile Crescent & Mesopotamia
The ancient Near East, and the historical regions of the Fertile Crescent and Mesopotamia in particular, are generally seen as the birthplace of agriculture. In the 4th millennium BCE, this area was more temperate than it is today, and it was blessed with fertile soil, two great rivers (the Euphrates and the Tigris), as well as hills and mountains to the north.
