Archaeologists in Egypt discovered a 3,500-year-old coffin containing a painting of a yellow-skinned woman wearing a long green dress and blue rectangular-shaped hair, resembling Marge Simpson from the famous animated series “The Simpsons.” The coffin holds the mummy of Tadi East, daughter of the chief priest of Ashmunein, a town on the west bank of the Nile. The inner lid features this painting surrounded by dozens of high priestesses representing the 12 hours of the day. Nearby, another mummy believed to be a woman named Nani, a chantress of Djehuty, was found in a wooden coffin dating to the late 20th dynasty. A papyrus scroll about 16-18 meters long, discussing the Book of the Dead, was also discovered alongside various funerary artifacts including canopic jars and pottery and wooden statues.

Archaeologists believe the tomb was the final resting place for high officials and priests during Egypt’s New Kingdom period from 1550 to 1069 BCE. Separately, four 4,300-year-old tombs and a gold-wrapped mummy of a man named Hekashib were found in Saqqara, south of Cairo, representing one of the oldest and most complete non-royal burials ever discovered in Egypt.
