Acient Egyptian mummy was pregnant
Researchers examining an ancient Egyptian mummy thought that they were looking at the body of a male priest. Instead, they were shocked to discover the body was actually a woman — who had been seven months pregnant at the time of her death.
According to a new study in the Journal of Archaeological Science, X-rays and computer tests finally revealed the mummy's true identity, showing the small hands and feet of a fetus. Researchers in Poland said it's the first and only known case of a well-preserved mummified pregnant woman.

World's First PREGNANT Ancient Egyptian Mummy Has Been Discovered | Shenandoah Country Q102

Researchers in Poland found something surprising in the middle of their latest Egyptian mummy project; one of them was a mommy to be. The remains of a woman in her 20’s, discovered in the 1800s in the Royal Tombs of Thebes and on display in the National Museum in Warsaw, is one of the first subjects of the Warsaw Mummy Project. The Polish Academy of Sciences is using advanced scanning technology to find out more about mummies in museums around the world.
There aren’t any other pregnant mummies…as far as we know. The researchers can’t say why the fetus was left inside the woman and not mummified separately, but one theory is that the ancient Egyptians thought that, since it was too young to have a name, it needed to travel to the afterlife inside its mother.

WARSAW (Reuters) - An ancient Egyptian mummy once believed to be the remains of a male priest is actually the embalmed body of a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy, Polish scientists said on Friday.
Marzena Ozarek-Szilke, an anthropologist at the Warsaw Mummy Project, was examining a CT scan of a mummy at the National Museum in the Polish capital when she spotted something peculiar.

The world's first identified pregnant ancient Egyptian mummy has been revealed in Warsaw after anthropologists spotted a 'tiny foot' in the woman's womb.
Scientists from the Warsaw Mummy Project were carrying out research on the mummified body, which was initially thought to have been an Egyptian priest named Hor-Djehuty until the team revealed it was a woman.
Marzena Ożarek-Szilke, anthropologist and archaeologist from the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw told PAP: "We were already at the stage of summarizing the project and sending the publication to print. With my husband Stanisław, an archaeologist of Egypt, we had the last look at the images and noticed a familiar image for parents three children in the deceased woman's abdomen a tiny foot."

Polish scientists find 1st ever pregnant Egyptian mummy

Ozarek-Szilke speculated that there may have been an effort to “camouflage the pregnancy… or, perhaps, it had some significance related to beliefs and re-birth in the afterlife”.
Based on an analysis of the hieroglyphs on the sarcophagus, the mummy was originally thought to be of a male priest who lived between the first century BCE and the first century CE.
Scientists now believe it could be even older than that and are looking into the possible causes of death.
The mummy has not been opened but one scan showed the woman had long curly hair down to her shoulders.
The research has been published in the latest issue of peer-reviewed Journal of Archaeological Science.

Pregnancy Detected in Ancient Egyptian Mummy - Archaeology Magazine

Pregnancy Detected in Ancient Egyptian Mummy
WARSAW, POLAND—The
AFP reports that X-rays of a 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummy held at Poland’s National Museum since 1917 revealed the remains of a woman with long, curly hair who was between 26 and 30 weeks pregnant at the time of her death. “We do not know why the fetus was not taken out of the belly of the deceased during mummification,” said Wojciech Ejsmond of the Polish Academy of Sciences. “That is why this mummy is truly unique. We have not been able to find any similar cases.” The mummy was thought to be the remains of a male priest who lived between the first century B.C. and the first century A.D., based upon hieroglyphs on the sarcophagus where the mummy was kept. The researchers will now attempt to date the remains and find a possible cause of the woman’s death.

Polish scientists discover world's first 'pregnant' Egyptian mummy

Warsaw: Polish researchers examining an ancient Egyptian mummy that they expected to be a male priest were surprised when X-rays and computer tests revealed instead it was a mummy of a woman who had been seven months pregnant.
The researchers said it’s the world’s first known case of such a well-preserved ancient mummy of a pregnant woman.
The mummy arrived in Warsaw in 1826 and the inscription on the coffin named a male priest. No examination until the current one had disproved the belief that it was a male.
“Our first surprise was that it has no penis, but instead it has breasts and long hair, and then we found out that it’s a pregnant woman,” Marzena Ozarek-Szilke, an anthropologist and archeologist, told The Associated Press. “When we saw the little foot and then the little hand (of the fetus), we were really shocked,”
