Meritamun

Meritamun is a word that translates to “beloved of the god Amun.” Researchers from the University of Melbourne introduced it after they found her skull in the archives. It remains a mystery how her remains got there. She was a Great Royal Wife of Ramesses and was buried in the Valley of the Queens in Egypt.

The only thing they had on her was the skull but they found out more things about her. She had been 18 to 25 years old at the time of her death, but the cause is a mystery. Her tooth decay made them think that she liked sweets. This sounds right since Alexander III introduced sweets to Egypt around that time!
