A mummy from Ancient Egypt has been discovered at the Kyiv Pechersk historic and cultural reserve.
The discovery was made during a revision of the reserve’s depository, the Ukrainian Culture Ministry said in a statement.
“Later it emerged that those were even several extremely interesting exhibits, which ended up in Kyiv back in late 19th – early 20th century. It transpired that they were stored initially at the Church Archeological Museum, later they were at the Museum of Atheism which at the time was housed by Kyiv Pechersk Lavra,” the statement says.
The unique objects had remained at the depository for several decades and were discovered only recently.
