Summary

In history there is not just one legend of the Screaming Mummy, but two. And creepily enough, both were found in the necropolis of Deir el-Bahri, the City of the Dead. Contemporary Egyptologists have worked to identify who these mummies were in life, and to unpack the strange and dramatic circumstances surrounding their deaths.
