The Problem of identification of ancient human remains as exemplified by the analysis of the Ancient Egyptian mummy known as Baqt

In this paper, the problem of identification of ancient human remains is assessed through the practical example offered by the analysis of the ancient Egyptian mummy labelled as Cairo CG 61076, which was found in the royal cachette of Deir el-Bahari (DB 320) and was subsequently called “Baqt”. This research, building on a previously published piece of research in a humanities setting, stresses how reassessing the published literature and photographs and producing a facial reconstruction for the first time.
