Scientists in Egypt have unearthed an exceptionally rare collection of mummy portraits. These ancient artworks, dating back to the Roman era, were found at a burial site in the city of Alexandria. These stunning portraits, painted on wooden panels, were placed on the faces of mummies to depict the deceased in lifelike detail. The colors and intricate details of the portraits are remarkably well-preserved, offering a vivid glimpse into the lives of individuals from this bygone era. This discovery provides valuable insights into the art, culture, and customs of ancient Egypt and the fusion of Roman and Egyptian traditions.????
