The Discovery of a Mummification Workshop at Saqqara
Ramadan Hussein
University of Tübingen
Mummification has always been in the minds of the public an ancient Egyptian mystery, but it was indeed a ritual process, a cultural practice, and a large industry. While the body of a deceased is treated in a mummification house during a 70 day process, the embalmers performed a set of rituals in order to transform the deceased into a divine.
In March 2016, the University of Tübingen, Germany, launched a project of documentation, conservation and publication of a number of Dynasty 26 tombs (ca. 664-525 BC) at Saqqara. These tombs were discovered between 1899 and1903, and the team employed a 3D digital technique to document them. While mapping the site of the tombs, the clearance activities fortuitously unearthed an unparalleled mummification workshop complex dating back to the Saite-Persian Period (Dynasties 26 and 27, ca. 664-404 BC). This complex is comprised of a subterranean embalming room, a purification house, and a communal burial shaft. A large and diverse corpus of pottery vessels was found in the embalming room. They are inscribed with instructions and names of embalming oils and resins.
