Two female mummies from the South Western Libyan site of Takarkori have been carbon 14 dated to six thousand years old. They are now being studied by an Italian research team. One of the mummies (aged 30 to 35) showed several health problems; malnutrition, a healed fracture of the left ulna and an hyperostosis of the cranial vault (thickened bone).
The mummies are estimated to be about 500 years older than the black mummy at Uan Muhuggiag. It’s unclear at the moment if the mummies are accidental or deliberate, although both appear to have been deliberately interred.
