Archaeologists in ancient Egypt, when archaeologists found a special mummy in the Valley of the Kings, he not only fractured his leg,
And there was a strange opening in the abdomen, and it was not until later that archaeologists discovered the mystery and lamented the technology at that time. What's going on here? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

In 1900, British archaeologists came to the vicinity of the Valley of the Kings and launched a large-scale search of the area to try to find more valuable artifacts. The archaeologist led by this team, whose name is Lylton, is a famous scholar in the British archaeological community and also enjoys a high reputation in britain. Professor Lelton devoted his life to the study of ancient Egyptian culture and became obsessed with it, which is why he traveled thousands of miles to Egypt with the support of the state in search of a lost civilization.
Professor Railon led the students to live near the Valley of the Kings for more than a year, during which time they discovered a large number of valuable ancient Egyptian artifacts and recorded them in detail. It is worth mentioning that during the excavation of the pyramids of the Valley of the Kings, the archaeological team actually found a mummy. If according to common sense, the discovery of mummies in ancient Egypt is normal, there is no need to make a fuss, but the mummies found by Professor Lylton and his students this time seem to be somewhat different. According to Professor Lylton's memoirs, the mummified body they found at that time was not placed in the main hall of the pyramid, but in the side chamber, although the coffin also had gold inlays and wore a face mask, but its specifications were obviously inferior to that of the pharaoh. Therefore, it can be concluded that the mummy should be the remains of an ancient Egyptian minister, who was probably one of the burial attendants allowed by the pharaoh.
In order to be able to better study the mummy, Professor Lylton finally decided to mobilize all the forces to transport the found mummy to the museum, so the mummy was sent to the Cairo Museum. The archaeological facilities in the Cairo Museum are relatively complete, after all, Egypt is an archaeological power, and the Capital Museum also has a large X-ray machine dedicated to transmitting cultural relics. Professor Lylton examined the mummy through the equipment, and he was surprised to find that the mummy's whole body was full of scars, especially the scars on the legs, the most obvious, and the test results showed that the mummy's leg bone had been broken and the injury was very serious.
Professor Lylton pointed out that from the situation of the mummy's broken bone, the injury he suffered before his death should be a blunt instrument injury, and his leg bone was subjected to a huge force, which would lead to the fracture. It is also worth noting that on the outside of the mummy's broken bone, there are actually two small wooden sticks, which are obviously used to fix the leg bone auxiliary treatment device. Unfortunately, despite the proper treatment of the injured, the leg bone still showed no signs of healing, which can be concluded that the deceased died before the leg bone was injured and did not heal.
What is the real cause of the mummy's death? After the study, Professor Lelton gave the answer. It turned out that in the position of the mummy's abdomen, there was a wound more than 10 centimeters long, and the depth of the wound even completely penetrated the abdominal cavity.
Surprisingly, although the wound is deep, it is always closed, because there are stitch marks on the wound. Similar to sutures in the field of modern medicine, the wounds on mummified corpses have also been completely sutured, although the sutures have not yet been opened, and from their appearance, it can be observed that the sutures used by the ancient Egyptians are precisely the flesh threads squeezed by the intestinal membrane tissue of animals.
We can imagine that the real cause of the death of the mummified owner is most likely a bacterial infection in the abdomen, after all, the wound deep into the abdominal cavity is very fatal, even in the face of modern developed medicine, its cure rate is not guaranteed to be 100%. He may have been injured in war or hunting, and it is indeed regrettable that he died after careful treatment. But what surprises us even more is that thousands of years ago, human beings have learned to use wound suturing, and the development of their medical skills is simply a miracle.
