Child stars, it seems, are an age-old part of society. Even the ancient Egyptians had their own choirs and singers. While there is definitely a little speculation involved in the interpretation of this little mummy there is some incredible detail that has been preserved and carefully uncovered by patience, care and technology.
The girl, although heartbreakingly young when she died, was a sufficiently important to merit an elaborate mummification, typically the preserve of Egyptian royalty and the wealthiest families. […] The hieroglyphics [on her bandages] spelt out her name, meaning “the goddess Isis shall seize them” – a name that offered protection from evil spirits. They also gave her job title as “singer of the interior”, an important post in the temple choir. Whether she enjoyed that position because of her family’s elevated status or the quality of her voice remains a mystery.[The Telegraph]
If Biebs dropped the bad-boy image and gained a little humility, we might mummify him in the same way.
