The Mummies Royal

I cannot believe that I have still not put this book on my blog.

If my home were burning and I could only save one book, it would be this one.

Several years ago, Dr. Aidan Dodson and Salima Ikram found a faint inscription on the mummy of an unknown woman, "B"; this inscription gave her name as "The great king's wife" Tetishiri.

Queen Tetishiri is well known because her grandson King Ahmosis "the liberator" erected a now famous stele as well as other monuments in her honor.
