The detection mask can be called a sensation.
Archaeologists in the excavation of the underground complex at Saqqara, an Egyptian, managed to find a workshop for the conduct of embalming and gilded silver mask.
Interesting mask covered the face of the mummy, lying in a poorly preserved wooden sarcophagus. As follows from the inscriptions on it, the mummy belongs to the priest who served the goddess Mut.
