the mummy's cracked chest was probably caused by vandals who broke into the place to steal valuable objects.

The Young Lady's mummy was discovered in March 1898 by French Egyptologist Victor Loret.

 The curious remains were found in the Valley of the Kings, a region known for housing the tombs of pharaohs belonging to the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.

After the discovery, the Young Lady's tomb came to be called KV35, and in it archaeologists also found the mummies of the pharaohs Amenhotep II, Thutmés IV, Ramses IV, V and VI. Today, the Young Lady is on display at the

Grand Egyptian Museum, located in Cairo, Egypt.

Measuring around 1.58m tall, just over 25 years old when she died, the Young Lady's body was found riddled with injuries.

 According to studies, the mummy's cracked chest was probably caused by vandals who broke into the place to steal valuable objects.

 Furthermore, the right arm was torn off and put back on.

However, genetic tests and computed tomography scans identified a wound on the left side of her mouth and cheek, which may have been responsible for the woman's death.

 According to research carried out by specialist Julian Heath, the injuries could be the result of an axe.

Years later, through DNA analysis, archaeologist Zahi Hawass revealed that the Young Lady is the mother of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye.

Although the research community does not accept that the Young Lady is the mummy of Nefertiti, it is believed that she was one of Akhenaton's wives, being one of her husband's sisters. 

However, to this day, some experts such as Frenchman Marc Gabolde refute this analysis.
