Brought to Irish shores through a trade during the Napoleonic wars, the hieroglyphs painted on the coffin of an Egyptian mummy were deciphered as holding the remains of a wife of a Thebes nobleman. But it was when scientific analysis took a closer look it was discovered that not only had she been stabbed in the back, she had died as a result of an axe-inflicted wound. We’ll never know who the murderer was as they’re now lost to wheels of time - so the case of Takabuti will never be solved.
