Just days before Mother's Day, Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced the discovery of the world's 'most beautiful' mummy ever found. (See photo link below)
The mummy dates to the 30th dynasty (378-341 BC) and was discovered almost intact during excavations around the pyramids in Saqqara. The as yet unidentified mummy is complete with golden mask and richly adorned cartonage depicting ritual scenes such as Anubis preparing the dead for burial. Other scenes included Horus seated in front of an altar, the four sons of Horus, and Ma'at with her wings spread.
That mummy is said to have been found buried in a shaft in the ground.
