Her mummy and the artistically designed coffins were discovered in the 18th century and finally came to the University of Aberdeen. The high quality mummification and the magnificent coffin reflect the wealth of your family, but the exact grave is still unknown. So what do we know about this mysterious woman? Only the name of her father, TJA-en-Waset, and the origin of her ancestors from Syria are known.
