Etude et analyse/Etats-Unis. Open Gold-painted Sarcophagus for first time to reveal mummy of 14-year-old son of ancient Egyptian Priest. Look closely enough and you can still make out the prints on the bottom of his toes ... 2,500 years after he died. This is the near-perfectly preserved body of a 14-year-old Egyptian boy named Minirdis, revealed for the first time since he was unearthed in the 1920s, entombed within a lavishly-decorated sarcophagus. The son of a powerful stolist priest, he is still wrapped in the embalming cloth - now yellowish, dusty rags - in which his corpse was swaddled some 500 years before the birth of Christ.
