Disappeared princess mummies discovered buried with weapons

Archaeologists have discovered the mummies of five ancient Egyptian princesses and a king who were buried with weapons such as daggers and bows, suggesting they were skilled in their use. The findings come from the 'Black Pyramid' at Dahshur, where erosion has damaged many structures. Among the discoveries was the untouched sarcophagus of Princess Ita, who was buried with a gold-decorated dagger, a whip, and a club. While weapons in female tombs are unusual, recent research suggests these princesses, including Ita, may have been capable warriors. The study, published in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology, analyzed the remains of six members of the royal family, including four sisters, a princess, and a king, whose mummies had gone missing until they were rediscovered in 2020 in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum.
