Strange discovery in Egypt: Mummies found with solid gold tongues

Archaeologists in Egypt have found many ancient mummies with solid-gold tongues in their mouths. The strange discovery was made when preserved corpses from 300 and 640 BCE were discovered at the Quweisna necropolis in the central Nile Delta, roughly 40 miles north of Cairo, as per the New York Post. Experts investigating tombs at the site found several mummies with gold chips shaped like human tongues in their mouths, said Dr Mustafa Waziri.
