Archaeologists have discovered an ancient Egyptian mummy with an excerpt from the classic Greek text the Iliad, which dates back 2,700 years. The remains were found in Al Bahnasa, central Egypt, known as Oxyrhynchus. This discovery is a first-of-its-kind discovery of this type of discovery. While Greek writings have been found in mummies before, no literary texts have been discovered until now. The discovery could shed light on the funeral and mummification processes of the time. The team is working to better understand the people entombed here, which indicates a higher level of wealth and the importance of Greek literature at this time.
