Researchers have uncovered the mysterious death of Takabuti, one of Egypt’s most famous mummies. According to a new research, Takabuti was killed with an ax in the back. Other revelations of Takabuti’s death have been dismissed by this revelation after 2600 years. Earlier, Takabuti was believed to have died by stabbing. It is said about Takabuti that she was a high-ranking woman, who lived in the city of Thebes in ancient Egypt. The city of Thebes is currently known as Luxor.
Professor Rosalie David of the University of Manchester and Professor Eileen Murphy of Queen’s University Belfast did a research on Takabuti’s death. On completion of this research, this information has been given about Takabuti’s death. The death of this ancient Egyptian mummy was a mystery to the world. It was brought from Egypt to Ireland in 1834 and the same year it was opened for the first time to examine Mami.
Attacked with a military ax from behind
Both professors used advanced technology for this research. This research was completed through DNA, X-ray, CT scan, hair analysis and testing of mummy-making items. The team of researchers said they were attacked from behind with a military ax to kill Takabuti. During this time Takabuti will be trying to escape from her attacker. The assailant who killed him could be the Assyrian soldier or himself of Takabuti’s own people.
Own people attacked
Earlier, a scan conducted on Takabuti’s death revealed that he was attacked with a knife in the upper part of his waist. He died due to stabbing. But now the latest research has said that he was killed with an ax. This military ax was commonly used by Egyptian and Assyrian soldiers. Researchers said that Takabuti must have become a victim of his own people. He died soon after getting the ax.
Rib ax
Research has shown that looking at the depth of the wound, it seems that the murderer attacked the ax strongly. In this attack, the ax must have penetrated inside the ribs of Takabuti and he died due to this fatal injury. This ax was a half-circular one blade three inches long. Various estimates have been made worldwide about Takabuti’s death, but this research has now rejected all those claims.
