Ti Ameny Net (Djai Ameni Niwet)

Ti Ameny Net (also spelled by translators as Djai Ameni Niwet) is an ancient Egyptian mummy displayed at the Ancient World Gallery in North Court at the University of Richmond in Virginia. Learn more about the history of Ti Ameny Net.

Ti Ameny Net and her sarcophagus traveled to many places in the years following her removal from her ancient tomb, from the sands of Egypt to the Prince and Princess of Wales to Dr. Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry and finally to the University of Richmond. Learn more about how Ti Ameny Net came to the University of Richmond's Ancient World Gallery.

Fortunately for the University of Richmond, Ti Ameny Net came to the University along with her sarcophagus, unlike most other mummies displayed in museums today. In 1890, the sarcophagus was examined by the famous Egyptologist James Henry Breasted. Learn more about the sarcophagus and Breasted's analysis.

More recently, in 1999, Eygptologist David Howell examined and translated the hieroglyphs on the sarcophagus. Learn more about those recent translations and what they tell us about Ti Ameny Net.

X-rays of Ti Ameny Net were taken at Naval Ballistics Laboratory in Indian Head, Maryland, in 1976. Learn more about what those x-rays revealed. Compare those results with CT scans taken of the mummy at the Medical College of Virginia.
