Finding the remains of a medieval woman still wearing armor opens a window into the historical tapestry of battles and societal dynamics.
In a remarkable archaeological discovery, researchers have uncovered a deeply moving burial site in Vedbaek, Denmark, dating back to around 4000 BC. The grave contained the remains of a young woman buried alongside her newborn son, who had been placed tenderly on a swan's wing.
This discovery sparked world's interest since the mummy's history predates by about 1500 years the time of mummification recorded in the ancient Egyptian civilization, which dates back to (2250-2750) BC, leading scientists to reconsider the belief that prevailed that mummification on the African continent began in Egypt, and prompting a new hypothesis that its origin is probably one of the unknown earlier civilizations that arose in the area today known as Libya over a period of 20,000 years. The name of the mummy is “Wan Moha Gaj” or Black Mummy. It was found by an Italian archaeological mission headed by Fabrizio Mori in 1958 during excavations in a small rock cave located in the Chowente Valley, in the Acacus mountain range, south of the Libyan town of Ghat, near the Algerian border.
