The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C has just had an operation. The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on they X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was operate. The operation, which lasted for over four of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it in to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small was figure of the god Duamutef. This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but for tunately this has not happened.
