Ramses the Great's Lost Mummy The Discovery of a Pharaoh

In 1881, a mummy hidden in a cache at Deir el-Bahri stunned the world. It was Ramses the Great, his body perfectly preserved for over three millennia. This episode follows the discovery by Emile Brugsch and the Egyptian Antiquities Service, the race to protect royal mummies from looters, and what the mummy reveals about the pharaoh's health, diet, and cause of death. We explore the controversial unwrapping in Cairo, the analysis of his arteries and teeth, and the ongoing debate over his red hair. A story of archaeology, preservation, and the human face of ancient power. #RamsesII #Mummy #DeirElBahri #EmileBrugsch #Egyptology #AncientEgypt #Pharaoh #MummyCache #RoyalMummies #Archaeology #CTScan #RedHair #NorthAfrica #Egypt #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast #Discovery Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
