While some Egyptian myths explained nature's phenomena, others were told to make sense of the human condition - death and dying, love, deceit, and treachery. Regardless of their aim, myths are full of beautiful symbolism, often touting some virtue or human quality to aspire to the mystery. a story about a woman who knows she deserves more than a common girl.Our heroine, the Egyptian beauty the only woman featured in this story.
Removing the last wrapping, the young woman showed herself in the chaste nakedness of her beautiful figure, preserving, despite so many centuries that passed, the fullness of her contours and the easy grace of her pure lines. Her pose, uncommon in the case of mummies, was that of the Venus de Medici as if the embalmers had wanted to save this beautiful body from the fixed attitude of death and soften the inflexible rigidity of the corpse.
