'Elder
woman' - Height of the body: 1.455 metres
the body
was of a middle aged woman, with long curled dark brown hair
(her natural hair colour). Her identity was finally revealed
when the hair was matched to a locket of Queen Tiye's hair found
in Tutankhamun's tomb (although some question this identification
- other nominations are abound!)
Mummy
of a Prince - Height of the body: 1.242 metres
nothing
is known of the identity of the body - the method of embalming
dates it to the 18th dynasty. The age at death was probably 9
or 10, he is shaven apart from the traditional 'side lock of
youth'. Various suggestions have been made about his identity:
'Prince Ouabkhousenou' (son of Amenhotep II), or Prince
Thuthmose
(eldest son of Amenhotep III and Tiye) - because of the mummy's
position next to the mummy of Tiye.
Unknown
Woman - Height of body: 1.580 metres
Badly
damaged by tomb robbers - the chest has been smashed, the left
side of the mouth torn away and the right arm broken off just
below the shoulder. Like the other two mummies in this group,
there have been attempts to identify her (possibly belonging
to the family of Amenhotep II, or Queen/ Princess Sitamun - daughter
of Amenhotep III and Tiye).
