The skeleton of Queen Meresankh III as it was found in her sarcophagus in her tomb. Meresankh was mummified, but her mummy was damaged by the tomb robbers that plundered the tomb after she was buried.

As a result, Meresankh's body unfortunately wasn't well preserved like other mummies from Ancient Egypt that we're able to see today. Meresankh's body is currently in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt.

We humbly ask for your help. We need your support to keep Mused running.

We're the largest independent hub of digital cultural heritage, and we survive on donations of about $30 USD. Less than 1% of people donate. If everyone reading this donated $5, our fundraiser would be done within a day!

We support training and providing technology to the communities that take of the monuments where we work to digitize their own cultures. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can continue preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll consider donating. — Luke Hollis, Cofounder, Mused
