This is the oldest existing Egyptian mummy. It is over 5500 years old.

The mummy, known as ′′Ginger, is from a young man who died at age 19 (as Tutankhamun) from a knife in the back.

Interestingly, on his right arm you can see a tattoo of a bull - this animal was represented as a symbol of power and virility in Egypt - being the oldest known figurative tattoo in the world.

It can be visited at the British Museum, where it has been exhibited for over 100 years.
