Researchers use infrared technology on ancient Egyptian mummies to detect tattoos invisible to the naked eye.
The deities, animals, and symbols tattooed on these women’s bodies are ones we know from other artifacts and scenes in Egypt during this time. When we look at where and how those appear, we find many connected with protections for women during and after childbirth.
IE: Are tattoos common on mummified remains from ancient Egypt? How widespread was the practice of tattooing in their society? Previously, we had almost no direct evidence of tattooing in ancient Egypt. Very few ancient Egyptians were found with tattoos, and depictions of tattoos in art were ambiguous. However, we also often did not know how to look for tattoos on mummified skin, and the more we look, the more evidence we are finding at Deir el-Medina. So, at least in this village, tattooing appears on women and was much more common than we thought.
