00:00Nobody dares to unwrap this mummy, discovered by Howard Carter in 1919, three years before he
00:08found Tutankham. This 2,300-year-old mummy has never been opened. Its linen wrappings form a
00:17precise geometric pattern, mirroring the pyramids themselves, a technique found on no other mummy
00:22in history. Unwrapping, it would destroy the only known example of this embalming method,
00:27so it stays sealed forever. The scientists use CT scans. They reveal just one thing,
00:34the body of an adult man, around 5'5", from the Ptolemaic era. His name, a faint inscription
00:41that reads either Bashiri or something else entirely, no one knows for certain. Over 2,300
00:48years later, he remains untouched and unknown.
