Claim: Visuals of the mummy full of gold treasure, excavated by the archaeology department.
Fact-check: These visuals do not show 4000 years old mummy filled with gold treasure - FACTLY
Verdict: these visuals show a mummy excavated in luxor city of egypt in 2018. the mummy is excavated by a french-led mission in the al-assasif necropolis on the western bank of the nile and is presumed to be 3000 years old. the authorities have opened it in the presence of the media, for the first time. however, there is no gold treasure found in the mummy. it was initially reported that the sarcophagus contained well-preserved mummified remains of a woman named thuya. however, the antiquities ministry later said they are working to definitively identify the name of the mummy. recently, a mummy with gold tongue was discovered in egypt, however, apart from the gold tongue, the sarcophagus has nothing made of gold. moreover, the visuals shared in the blog has nothing to with this recent discovery. hence the claim made in the post is false.
