Scans and 3D X-rays on two mummies which were discovered during excavations at the Elephantine tombs, west of Aswan, revealed the mummies date back to the Late Period of ancient Egypt.

The first mummy dates back to around 3000 BC, while the second dates to the beginning of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, which existed around 1950 BC.
