Cocaine mummies challenge everything we know about US history
by JC Zuzierla
From the Vikings to the Chinese, American history has proven to be much different from what schools taught us growing up. In fact, over the last decade, science contradicted itself almost daily. Recently, various studies and new clues show us that Egyptians had at least some kind of contact with the Americas – the “New World†– as early as 1,000 Before Common Era (BCE), according to Ancient Origins.
How do we know this? A study by a German scientist, Dr. Svetla Balabanova found something truly surprising in “several Egyptian mummies†from the ruling class. This particular study included the infamous Lady Henut Taui; a mummy thought to be at least more than 3,000 years old. The interesting thing about the discovery wasn’t the age of the mummy, but the fact that Dr. Balabanova found nicotine and cocaine in the mummies.
