Egyptian tomb reveals 13 golden tongues
A group of mummies has been uncovered, including 13 mummies with tongues made of gold, in the Banha region of Minya Governorate in Egypt. This discovery was made as part of archaeological excavations at a site dating back to the Ptolemaic period (approximately 304–30 BC). The golden tongues are considered some of the most important elements of funerary rituals, symbolizing the deceased's ability to communicate with the afterlife. They also reflect the ancient Egyptians' belief that gold symbolizes immortality. Additionally, amulets, symbols of gods, golden nails, and wall paintings depicting scenes from religious and spiritual rituals of ancient Egyptian beliefs were found. The analysis of these finds reveals their interest in the afterlife and the methods they used to protect the mummies. This discovery confirms the ongoing significance of the area as a site where the secrets of the past, burial rites, and beliefs related to the afterlife in ancient Egypt continue to be uncovered and explored.
