    So why was the head so carefully mummified post mortem?

    Eerie - he DOES look virtually “alive.” He’s a wonderful specimen ❤

    How did they know he was male, no clues. They only tested 2 clubs not the 3rd. Could he have been hung. Too many questions unanswered this time. They do not appear to have actually proved anything.

      It might be an assumption based on the brow ridge which is generally more pronounced on males.

      @@josephonesta6416 I looked at that as could see no noticeable ridge as is normal in males.

      Yea.. he could fell from the top of pyramid, knocked his upper eye on the corner of a stone block and also broke his neck 😁

    My guess is the head was a trophy perhaps of a vanquished noble man or outlaw as in bring me his head.

    It seems like they were perfect. Doesn’t it scare some of us to unearth them?

    How do we know it was a man and not a woman. It is not usual for Egyptians to have red hair or is that a dye applied during mummification?

      Hi. As far as I know it is possible to tell if a skull belonged to a male or a female. The brow bones and forehead for example look different depending on the gender. And at around 20:00 it is explained that the hair was a wig. Not sure where the color came from. Mummification, something being used during the making of the wig or maybe it was dyed while being made.

    It could be female.
