Quick Glance: Recreation of 3,500-year-old Egyptian mummification balm aroma
  • Scientists have recreated an ancient aroma by decoding the ingredients of Egyptian mummification balms.

  • The fragrance is based on beeswax, plant oils, and tree resins from distant lands used in balms to preserve Senetnay's remains over 3,500 years ago.

  • The discovery provides insights into Senetnay's social status, preservation methods, and the significance of the balm ingredients.

  • The balms varied slightly between the jars, suggesting different ingredients for preserving different organs.
