A foetus found within the abdomen of an Egyptian mummy last year was preserved for more than 2,000 years because it was 'pickled' like an egg by the acidification of the woman's body as she decomposed.
This is the conclusion of the team of researchers led from the University of Warsaw who revealed the presence of the unborn child's remains using a combination of CT and X-ray scans .
The mummy is believed to be the first embalmed specimen known to contain a foetus, and was taken out of by Jan Wężyk–Rudzki, who donated the specimen to the University of Warsaw in the December of 1826.
