Vassar's mummy has received its turn in the C.T. scan. The mummy, as indicated by the name of the God "Min," is from the Akmim area of Egypt. Happy, he is the son of another well-known mummy, that of Pahat.

In 1903, two tombs were found in the Valley of the Queens. These elaborately decorated tombs were created for the New Kingdom queens, prince's and princesses.
However, the tombs were full of coffins and mummies from the Third Intermediate Period, including a family of gardeners. How much of the original burials remained is a mystery to me, but I would suspect little. Most of these coffins are now in Italy; six intact examples were retained in Egypt.
