A fascinating discovery by archaeologists has everyone talking, a 3,500-year-old Egyptian mummy’s sarcophagus has been found which bears an uncanny resemblance to Marge Simpson from "The Simpsons." The drawing shows a yellow-colored woman dressed in a long green garment, with blue hair shaped in a rectangle, strikingly similar to Marge's iconic look.

The mummy inside the coffin is identified as Tadi Ist, the daughter of the high priest of El-Ashmunein, a town on the Nile River's western bank. She was buried 27 miles south in Minya. This intriguing sarcophagus was unearthed in early 2023 and features twelve high priestesses around the inner lid, symbolizing the 12 hours of the day. Experts believe the depiction represents Tadi Ist's journey to the afterlife.

When the image was shared on Reddit, it quickly gained attention, with many users jokingly suggesting that "Egypt predicted The Simpsons." One witty commenter commented, "The only documented time in history where The Simpsons didn’t do it first."

Mostafa Waziry, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, emphasized the importance and rarity of this find, noting, "each hour scene has a shape." However, the central drawing has sparked the most excitement due to its resemblance to Marge Simpson.

The burial site also contained another wooden coffin from the end of the 20th Dynasty, thought to belong to Nany, a chantress of the Djehouti high priest. Like Tadi Ist, Nany’s burial included a beaded dress and a mask, and both coffins were found in excellent condition.

Excavations at the site, which began in 2017, have unearthed a variety of artifacts, including wooden and pottery items, canopic jars for storing embalmed organs, and ushabti figurines used in funerary practices. A piece of papyrus found at the site references the Book of the Dead, a collection of spells to aid the deceased in their hazardous journey to the afterlife.
