What's the big deal over that specific coffin! I've seen a couple of documentaries so far and why is it so important to not open it? Hawass and the other grave robbing goons opened up practically all the Egyptian Pharaohs tombs and plundered their treasures across the globe! Ripping their remains apart to do studies and pretty much have no respect for the Egyptian culture whatsoever. in and out of museums, sold at auctions, mishandled, broken bones etc. And poor King Tut omg! Pieces of him are everywhere in museums. But they wanna hold on to dear Abby with this one! I don't get it.

They tried to silence this woman-by killing her, removing her oesophagus, performing extremely dubious embalming process, and making sure she was unable to live in the afterlife. Putting the wrong name on her sarcophagus. There are multiple people complicit in trying to silence her, not just one individual. What could she have done that was so bad as to warrant such a course of action. Just goes to show you that jealousy, and probably gossip has been around as long as man has walked the earth. May she REST IN PEACE, now she has been given her name back.

A few questions still stand, who decided to take her life? Since it looks so thought out; take her life, have her mummified, take out her throght AND clean it up after and then have her name and gender in correct. And why would the killer do that to her? Because you don't just decide to kill someone and take away their chances of going into their beliefs of an afterlife, there would've been some reason. And then lastly, why seal it so no one could open it? Were they purposely trying to do that or did it just happen over the years?

I wonder if she was a concubine of sorts, or had been involved in an affair. Personal vendetta, her body/face destroyed beyond recognition, a cowardly stabbing (couldnt even face her. She was a lady of (presumed) high status, or at least lived in a more luxurious way. The priesthood wouldnt have forgiven something like that. Its entirely possible that she was with someone she shouldnt have been, and that resulted in her death. Especially if she was beautiful whilst she lived.

Seems a pity to put the information away in a box file. Did the museum she came from have the information so they can up date the orientation information. If it say the box, I would also like to see the model of the skull and the likeness of her face and see prints of the scan which show the stab wound,
The music is a huge problem, I had to turn it off and use subtitles which are very iffy. Perhaps someone could revisit this video and add better subtitles.

Just wondering why these world renowned women of Egyptology of mummies would open a sample of the linen in this series of writings without GLOVES and a face mask because of the particles of dust from an ancient mummy? It's not like they are uneducated about artifacts. I respect their knowledge and expertise but I would definitely have had some kind of covering over my nose before I opened a unknown envelope containing linen from a mummy.

Since no one will ever know, she might not have been as pure, or whichever word chosen, as they are making her out to be. Based on other people that have been treated like that, and worse, she might have been caught doing something that she was punished for.
Ramesses III comes to mind. People were sentenced to death for their part in the crime. She very well could have been punished for something she did or was a part of.

That's so sad what happened to this woman. Someone must've hated her so much to do this evil thing to her. She was murdered, then had her throat removed, and her name intentionally written wrong. Imagine waiting for so long to join the gods in the afterlife, only to be turned away, alone and mute. Finally, her name can be heard once again. Hopefully Bakhtenhor can now take her place in the afterlife.
reply

I'm thinking that they didn't get her title wrong maybe she was a leader at some point, they normally would leave the title as is for male and female leaders and give their names also. Maybe they didn't want a female leader and found a way to get rid of her. And just to be spiteful they tried to keep her from living in the afterlife. I guess they didn't want her to rule in this world or the next
reply

Her coffin must have been opened in the 1800's to retrieve the linen from her body. I wonder why they choose not to reopen it, or maybe at the start of the investigation they had no idea that it was once opened. Although the way it was sealed in ancient Egypt would most likely be a different sealant that that of more modern times. It would be interesting to know this information as well.
reply

first of all you call it god the all mighty and all knower. the god of after life asking your name i mean he or she might have had so many children that it ended up forgetting it's own kids name what a shame for being such a god lol and on top cutting of the throat will net let her say her name to that dumb god. woooooooh i mean how dumb are you
reply

As someone with an over bite myself, Its refreshing to know that I would have been considered high class and royal in that time. I am glad that the plans of who ever murdered ner and then sabataged her afterlife, were in a sense turned over as she lives again through this documentary and their research. Even with out an actual name.
reply

This is a great show, though it is terrible to learn how cruel people can be even back then. But I must question this. Why did the person who attacked Bakht-en-hor not simply kill her? Why leave her to die a slow, painful death instead of just slitting her throat and being done with it. Was he interrupted?
reply

oh, heaven - the poor woman, she was ripped to pieces internally. Then buried asap before the destruction of her afterlife could be observed by anyone who would oppose it. Since the embalmers were priests, they were complicit - or were they the ones who committed both crimes? wish we knew.
reply

Does anyone else think that they got the murder wrong? The fact that the throat was removed for me does not point to her entering the afterlife but to covering up the evidence of strangulation that is, the damage to her throat possibly done from behind and then her butchering as shown.
reply

These documentaries are their afterlife. The adorned coffins and mummification worked, because it made us notice them individually. Through us everytime we remember them, talk about them, in our imaginations they live. All because they mummified their selves.
reply

Im thinking maybe the name written on the outside, isnt even her real name. Guessing that the person who buried her deliberately put a false name, so no one would know who she is. Which may also be why they removed her throat.
reply

Im not a Egyptian afterlife believer, but what a poor woman! Not only was her death an unbearably painful one, but was mrdered twice (or once (depends on your perspective, OMG. That was really interesting to watch though!
reply

les cadavres appelees momies au caire a paris a londres a newyork etc doivent etre remises dans leur tombeau au lieu d etre exposees a la curiosite malsaine des gens c est la moindre des choses mettez vous a leur place
reply

I'm thinking the message was, you won't be trash talking me anymore, not in this life and not to the God's in the next. Maybe a very opinionated person who crossed the line just one too many times.
