Nesmin (also known as '''The Belgrade Mummy'''), is a mummy from the Ptolemaic Period. The mummy was a gift to the University of Belgrade from Pavle Ridicki, a Serbian nobleman. The sarcophagus that contained Nesmin revealed the 191st chapter of the ''Book of the Dead-Return of the Soul into the Body.'' Along beside the mummy itself contains a papyrus roll containing the entire Book of the Dead. Nesmin was discovered with a blue wig and amulets of the Goddess Maat, The Triad of Osiris, Isis, and Neftis. All which represent protection in the afterlife.

Nesmin was mummified using the technique dated from the 2nd millennium BC. All of his organs were removed from his body and were dried with natron; a natural salt. All organs except his heart, which represents the centre of intelligence and belief that he will need it in the afterlife. The body would then dry out for about 40 days, after, the body is brushed with oils to preserve the elasticity of the skin. The dried organs are wrapped and then placed back into the body which is the wrapped up in linen and placed in the sarcophagus. Nesmin unfortunately was not properly taken care of through the decades resulting in his head, torso and legs separating from the body.
