Spanish archaeologists uncovered a mummy no one had noticed before in the temple of Thutmosis III. A large boulder had fallen to cover the area with debris. When the archaeologists cleared it away, they found an untouched albeit crushed coffin
Inside the coffin lay the ruins of a female mummy, but her jewels were intact. These included:a golden necklace and pendant in the shape of a shell, two golden bangles on her arms, silver bracelets on each ankle.
Her name is unknown. She's assumed to be from an elite family that lived during the Middle Kingdom (2137-1781 B.C.) She has been dubbed "The Lady of the Jewels"
