IS THOUGHT OLDEST MUMMY
Skeleton Of Women, Recently Found.
Has Been Accorded Distinction
by the Scientists.

The mummy known as Ra-Nefer.
which is In the museum OF the Royal
college OF surgeons. London. England.
has been described as the Oldest num-
my known. The date assigned to II
by Prof Elliot Smith was the age of
Senefru, the beginning of Egypt's
fourth dynasty. about 300 years b. G.
Some human remains. however.
have now been discovered at Sakkara,
about 10 miles from Cairo. belonging
to the period Of the end OF the sec
ond and the beginning OF the third
dynasties. about 1000 years b. C.
Among them is the ekeleton OF a
woman about 35 years of age. which
was found completely invested In a
large series of bandages. and next TO
the body was a corroded woven cloth.
The corrosion. says Prof Smith,
was presumptive evi; snce that some
material, probably crude natron. was
applied TO the surface OF the body,
with view to its preservation, and
he has thus been able to trace to a
higher antiquity than had previously
been done. the use OF this method for
preserving the body OF the dead.
