The face of King Seti I is one of the most well- faces in Egyptian history.
King Seti I, whose name means: Belonging to the god Seth.
He died 3,298 years ago and ruled when Egypt was at its highest peaks. He was the father of one of the most famous kings in the ages, Ramses II.
Mummification of his era was at the height of perfection.
And some wonder why the mummy is black and think it was burnt.
But this blackness results from the interaction of some embalming materials with the body, including (natron salt), which contains four substances, two substances that work to absorb fluids in the body, and two substances that form cells that swallow bacteria, causing this blackness.
Mummification developed in the 21st Dynasty, and they painted the mummy with some colors that resembled the color of the skin.
This mummy is the most preserved in the world.
