Scientists: one-third of the mummies – a fake – Petersburg blog

About 30 percent of animal mummies in Egypt – just the usual folding fabric. Such shocks British scientists came to the conclusion, deciding to scan about 800 animal mummies in Egypt.

Only the outline they resemble animals, researchers are experiencing.

About a third of the mummies – the remains of animals, another third – Only fragments of creatures, and the last third – a fabric, according to the BBC.

Scientists believe this is due to the fact that the in ancient Egypt was a huge demand for animal mummies, so they had to make a fake from scrap materials – birds’ nests, eggshells and wool.
