1. Ginger
Nicknamed for its red hair, “Ginger” is the most famous of six naturally mummified
bodies excavated in the late 19th century from shallow graves in the Egyptian desert. It
went on display at the British Museum in 1901, becoming the first mummy to be
exhibited in public, and has stayed there ever since. Ginger and the other bodies found
with it are the oldest known mummies in existence, dating back to about 3400 B.C.
Artificial mummification was not yet a common practice at the time of their deaths, but
their bodies were naturally dried and preserved by the warm sand in which they were
buried.

2. Hatshepsut
The most prominent female pharaoh, Hatshepsut reigned over Egypt for roughly two
decades, undertaking ambitious building projects and establishing valuable new trade
routes until her death in 1458 B.C. The archaeologist Howard Carter discovered her royal
tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings in 1902. When he located her sarcophagus some
years later, however, it was found to be empty. Carter also unearthed a separate tomb,
known as KV60, which contained two coffins: that of Hatshepsut’s wet nurse–identified
as such by an inscription on its cover–and that of an unknown female. In 2006, a team led
by Dr. Zahi Hawass set out to determine whether the anonymous woman in KV60 could
be the missing queen herself. The vital piece of evidence was a molar tooth found in a
wooden box bearing Hatshepsut’s name. When Hawass and his colleagues compared the
tooth to a gap in the mummy’s upper jaw, it was a perfect fit, leading the researchers to
conclude that the search for Hatshepsut was finally over.

3. King Tutankhamen
Ancient Egypt’s “boy king” became pharaoh at the age of nine and ruled for
approximately 10 years (c. 1333-1324 B.C.). Relatively obscure during his lifetime,
Tutankhamen–or “King Tut”–became a household name in 1922, when the archaeologist
Howard Carter found his remarkable tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Despite
several apparent grave robberies, the tomb was crammed with a wealth of ancient
treasures, including jewelry, gilded shrines and a solid gold funerary mask. The discovery
prompted a worldwide fascination with Egyptology in general and Tutankhamen in
particular. Carter’s partner and financier, Lord Carnarvon, died of an infected mosquito
bite several months after the pair opened the tomb. His death inspired the myth of the
mummy’s curse, according to which anyone who dared intrude upon King Tut’s grave
would suffer his wrath.
