"Screaming mummy" was discovered in Egypt in 1886 famous for its intimidating expression. After years of research and investigation, the scientists thought that the mummy belonged to Prince Pentewere - who plotted to kill his father, Pharaoh Ramses III - but failed.

"Screaming mummies" were found at the Deir El-Bahari temple and are now on display at the Egyptian museum in Cairo. The mummy was preserved in a way never before seen with limbs bound in leather and a body wrapped in sheepskin - a sign that the mummy was considered unclean.

After nearly 140 years of speculation, the researchers said they knew the secrets behind this mysterious mummy. It is believed that the mummy belonged to the disgraced son of Pharaoh Ramses III, who conspired to kill his father and was sentenced to death by hanging. The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities believes that the marks around the mummy’s neck indicate he may be hanged. This corresponds to the ancient texts about the Harem Plot, detailing the attempted as‌sassination of King Pentawere and Queen Tiye, the second wife of Pharaoh Ramses III. DNA testing from the bones of the screaming Mummy showed he was indeed the son of Ramses III.
