Polish researchers recorded in April 2021 the first known case of a pregnant Egyptian mummy.
On December 30 of the same year, the Journal of Archaeological Science revealed new information regarding the preservation of the fetus.
After the mummy was donated to the University of Warsaw in 1826, scientists assumed it was a male priest for the past few decades.
However, according to The New York Times website, in 2016, it was revealed that the mummy was a pregnant woman.
A year earlier, the discovery was made in a study covering more than 40 mummies at the National Museum in Warsaw.
The mummy was named the Mysterious Lady because of the enigmas that surrounded its trajectory.
Although many mysteries have already been unravelled, scientists still needed to discover more information about her pregnancy and preserve the fetus inside the mummy.

Yes, it's very bizarre right?
I was thinking the same after reading this news.
According to experts, the mummy in question was approximately 20 to 30 years old when he died.
It is estimated that the woman was between the 26th and 30th week of pregnancy, according to information from the Heritage Daily portal.
