Mummy of Prince Amenemhat
New Kingdom
The mummified body of prince Amenemhat shows that he died prematurely as a young child. He is believed to have lived during the first part of Dynasty 18. His original burial was robbed in ancient times and his mummy was reburied in a simple child’s coffin from a later era (19.3.207a, b). The coffin is inscribed with what is assumed to be his name, Amenemhat, and the title "king of Upper and Lower Egypt," presumed to be an error for "king’s son." Prince Amenemhat’s mummy is not on view and rests inside his closed coffin (which is displayed in gallery 130).
