The Truth About King Rameses III

A forensic analysis carried out on the mummy of King Rameses III has revealed that the pharaoh had his throat slit. The first CT scans to examine the king’s mummy reveal a cut to the neck deep enough to be fatal. The secret has been hidden for centuries by the bandages covering the mummy’s throat that could not be removed for preservation‘s sake. Ancient documents including the Judicial Papyrus of Turin say that in 1155 BC members of his harem attempted to kill him as part of a palace coup.
