The Mummies with Golden Tongues
Usually, you use your tongue to taste ice cream or talk to your friends. But archaeologists in Egypt found mummies from the Roman era who had a very sparkly secret: their tongues were made of solid gold! Actually, the gold tongues were special amulets placed in the mummies' mouths to help them "talk" to the gods in the afterlife. The tomb also had three different rooms carved out of limestone, filled with tiny statues and old jars. Imagine having a tongue made of gold that never gets tired of talking! Learn more!
