Egyptian mummy tachcheru: secrets of a human individual

On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, an exciting free evening lecture will take place in the Celten-Römer Museum Manching. The renowned Egyptologist Prof. Dr. Regine Schulz from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich will speak about the fascinating history of the Egyptian mummy Tacheru from 6:00 p.m. This mummy, which comes from the 25th dynasty (765–656 BC), gives insights into the life of an elegant Egyptian and her cultural background.

The Mummy Tachcheru, whose name means "the Syrian", was discovered in Thebes in the 18th century and is an impressive example of the high art of mummification. Her coffins and the associated artifacts were once sold to the Scottish businessman Sir Charles Forbes of Newe and finally reached the University of Aberdeen. The research project, which deals with TA-Chcheru, uses modern imaging processes to comprehensively analyze the mummy and its history. Interested visitors should note that the permanent exhibition on the day of the lecture is not open, but the foyer is accessible 20 minutes before the start of the lecture.
