This is maybe the oldest existing Egyptian mummy. It is over 5500 years old!
The mummy, known as "Ginger" (Gebelein Man), is of a young man who died at the age of 19 from a stab wound to the back, preserved naturally. 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.
