The mystery of the Coptic mummies of Antinoopolis

On the occasion of the opening of new rooms in the Louvre museum, devoted to the Eastern Mediterranean during the Roman Empire, a documentalist became enraptured by a mysterious treasure. Towards the end of the 19th century, the Parisian museum carried out research on a set of Coptic mummies and a collection of fabrics, which this documentary revives, contributing new and interesting data about the mummification processes of Egypt’s early Christians.
