- In the year 2000, the Metropolitan Museum in New York City was contacted about purchasing a curious mummy from a collector in Pakistan, who claimed the mummy was the remains of the daughter of the famed Persian Emperor, Xerxes I 'The Great'. However, later that year, the unearthing of this mysterious mummy would only further add to its mystery.

Thank you for covering this unknown woman's sad story. Her death has not been given the attention it deserves.
I'm glad I decided to stay home this sunday night, got a nice treat, a Mr. MM video! Keep going my friend. I love your stuff so much.
That's crazy man. Thanks for the episode, take care.
A particularly grim case.
"I found Xerxies mummy in New Jersey. Totally not a scam!"

They should have jailed the two scumbags untill they gave names of those they got the girl from. There is a chain leading back to the murderers.
It was murder 💀
Thank you, another great video!
Thanks for your vids. I watch at least twice - fascinating content but also your voice/delivery/cadence genuinely help my trouble sleeping. Thank you.
Wow, sad! Thank you for covering this!
It’s disgusting that as soon as they realized she wasn’t a dead princess, the majority of the world immediately stopped caring. They never bothered to actually close the case, and it took them years to actually properly bury her. She was clearly a murder victim, someone hit her with a vehicle or hit her with a blunt object in the lower back hard enough to incapacitate her, and then broke her neck to finish her off. It’s absurd basically nothing was done. She was killed in 96. It’s 2024 for cripes sake.
Dead is dead.
@@scallopohare9431 Well, then, let's just not pursue murderers, shall we?
@@ginmar8134 How on earth do you get that? Though, at this point in time, an investigation would not amount to much.
Since when have women mattered in Pakistan?
Unfortunately, as with a lot of cold cases, there’s not much to go on. The mummification process would make the body extremely difficult to ID and DNA only helps if she was registered in a system that the investigators can access. They don’t know when or where she died or if she was murdered by the same people who mummified her- she could have been an unclaimed body taken from a morgue.
Yay! MM video!
A mummy is simply one of the things that you just can't fake. If it were possible, someone would have done it by now and would be extremely rich today either by selling or by demanding huge fees for studies. Faking antiquities is basically IMPOSSIBLE.
It's entirely possible that the whole museum exhibition industry for mummies is done this way. Most true mummies were eaten or made into paint a long time ago
@@inquisitive4 maybe, but if they stay closed away in an inaccessible place for research (as you say, exhibition only) we can't know, but if we put everything to scrutiny with actual research and tests everything falls apart. Faking antiquities is pretty much impossible.
@@inquisitive4what fantasy world are you living in my guy
@@POLARTTYRTMthere are thousands upon thousands of extant mummies from different cultures…not sure what that person is smoking but just give them a pat on the head and carry on lol
Experimental archeologists have figured out how to replicate Egyptian mummification! What you can't fake is aging... Carbon dating will show that a modern mummy is, well, modern.
I guess I'm confused as to how removing the organs made it not Egyptian style. The Egyptians removed the organs and placed them in the canopic jars during mummification.
CT scans revealed she was embalmed wearing a Sony Discman.
WOW!
Sounds like one of Dave lettermans' top 10
Took me forever to realize your opening screen was an upside down graveyard.
Who thought hiding your murder victim as a mummy and selling it was a good idea???
Based video
I thought u had way more than 73k!?
Ah, yes. I've read about that particular shitshow.
she was also s mother.A Mummy Mommy
Somebody has been watching Oddities by Internet Historian…
You?
Have you ever looked into police procedure in other countries? That is what they do. This comes off as embarrassing and racist
The Pakistani police are a race now? 😂
Everything is racist ain't it?
Corrupt police in a country that hates women? Must be racist
Drawing out your voice like that ruins the video. To be real, its cringe af.
