Meritamun

Meritamun, in English, means “beloved of the god Amun”. University of Melbourne researchers introduced the mean after going through the archives and finding her skull. She came from ancient Egypt, so they did not know how her skull got there. At any rate, she was one of the Great Royal Wives of Pharaoh Ramesses. Records say she was buried in the Valley of the Queens in Egypt.

They did not have a lot of information on her since the skull was the only thing they had. Regardless, they found more stuff about her. They learned that she was around 18 to 25 years old at the time of her death, although the cause of death is still unknown. They also learned that she liked sweets because she had tooth decay. This is spot on because Alexander III brought it to Egypt when she was alive.
