Decoding the Secrets Behind One of Egypt’s Oldest Mummies

Lady Rai (c. 1570/1560 BC – 1530 BC)

Lady Rai was an ancient Egyptian woman of the early 18th Dynasty who served as nursemaid to Queen Ahmose-Nefertari (1562–1495 BC).
Her mummified remains were discovered in a Theban tomb in 1881 and it is estimated that she was about 30–40 years old when she died around 1530 BC. The mummy was unwrapped by Grafton Elliot Smith in 1909. He distinguished her mummy as "the most perfect example of embalming that has come down to us from the time of the early 18th Dynasty, or perhaps even of any period". He further characterized her as "the least unlovely" of the existing female mummies, and described as a "slim, gracefully-built woman", measuring 1.510 metres (4 ft 11.4 in) in height, with small "childlike" hands.

Egyptian King Tutankhamun's 3300 Year Old Sandals Was found in the tomb of the King who reigned circa 1336-1327 BCE under the 18th Dynasty.

This pair of sandalsis is now in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, Cairo, Egypt.

The sandals are made of wood and overlaid with a marquetry veneer of bark, green leather, and gold foil on a stucco base Two human figures are depicted on the sole of each sandal under the arch of the foot.

They represent Nubian (or Sub-Saharan African) and Asiatic captives. Under the toes is a representation of four bows and a similar number is shown under the heel.

The strap and thong represent an additional bow. Contemporary Egyptians still refer to putting their foes under their shoes or under their feet, as a sign of contempt and/or belittlement.
