Amenhotep I's mummy

Amenhotep I's mummy is famous for for being left completely unrolled by modern archaeologists due to its pristine flower garlands and painted face mask.

Discovered in 1881 at Deir el-Bahari, it features the pharaoh's crossed forearms and remains wrapped in intact linen bandages.

Originally entombed around 1504 BC, likely in Dra' Abu el-Naga' or the Valley of the Kings

CT scans conducted in 2021 revealed he died at approximately 35 years old and stood roughly 5 feet 6 inches tall.
