One of the biggest questions the scientists have is why the fetus -- whose gender has not been determined -- Thousands of years and the fetus still hasn't chosen a set of preferred pronouns? I guess we'll just have to refer to the fetus as 'them' or 'they'

Well, at least according to NARAL, a fetus is an “it”, isn’t it?
To: BenLurkin
The researchers are all denying that they are the father.

They don’t even give the “it” status; it’s just a “clump of cells”.

An exact replica. Right down to the hairplugs.

One of the biggest questions the scientists have is why the fetus -- whose gender has not been determined -- remained in place as internal organs were routinely removed prior to mummification. Obviously, the ancient embalmers did not want to separate mother and child.

internal organs were routinely removed prior to mummification but even in ancient Egypt they knew a fetus was not an internal organ.
To: Paperpusher
The Femi-Nazis could learn from that. Not likely, since they worship abortion as a sacrament of satan.

my guess: If she was full term, the mother would have had a shaved head as part of birth preparation. It makes sense the pre-term would remain inside the mother, who would know (or have said for her) the spells and Negative Confession rituals, to get both hearts past Ammat and the 42 judges, and be accepted into the presence of Osiris and Re. And so be able to secure spiritual life (the ba) for her infant in the afterlife, in line with ‘gather the family together’ of Egyptian beliefs.
Is it also an indicator that ancient Egyptians (or those surrounding mom, at least) believed the unborn had souls? Good for mom (or dad, who paid for the burial)
Great find.
