Ta-Kr-Hb
Ta-Kr-Hb is a female mummy who was donated to the Perth Museum and Art Gallery in Scotland in 1936, believed to be the remains of a priestess of Thebes.

The name of the mummy 'Ta-Kr-Hb' (pronounced 'Takherheb') and her status as a princess were revealed by the hieroglyphs on the lid of her coffin. Biography Research by the University of Manchester has revealed that Ta-Kr-Hb was female, and around 35 or more years old when she died, with poor dental health. A 2023 facial reconstruction was carried out by Dr Christopher Rynn, who assessed the skull of Ta-Kr-Hb to be more likely of Kushite ancestry, by contrast to other Ancient Egyptian skulls from his earlier casework, which were from much earlier than the 26th Dynasty. The hieroglyphs on her coffin lid indicate that she was a high-status priestess of Thebes, or the Egyptian town of Akhmim. Condition of mummy In 2013, the same study conducted by the Univer ...
