Summary

Description
English: Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It is called the "Poor Woman's Mummy" because it was previously assumed from 1991 CT scans that it belonged to a poorer woman from c1000BCE due to a seemingly inferior mummification process, however new CT scans in 2016 led to the conclusion the mummy is from nearly a millennia later, in the Ptolemaic Period, explaining the mummification technique. It was purchased in the early 20th century with the coffin that it's in, although the Coffin is unrelated and from a man from 1070-945BCE.
