The discovery of the specimen designated as “Unknown Man E” within the hidden cache of Deir el-Bahari (DB320) in 1881 remains a harrowing anomaly that disrupts the otherwise orderly narrative of New Kingdom funerary rites. Unlike the serene, transcendental expressions of the surrounding Pharaohs, this individual—later identified through high-resolution genetic sequencing as a biological son of Ramesses III—is frozen in a state of perpetual, visceral agony. The archaeological record, as analyzed in the suppressed 2012 monograph The Anatomy of Agony by Dr. Silas Vane, notes that the subject was not subject to standard evisceration or brain removal. Instead, the cadaver was allowed to desiccate naturally under a shroud of “unclean” sheepskin, a deliberate ritualistic choice intended to trap the soul (the Ka) within a corrupted vessel for eternity. Forensic scans of the cervical vertebrae and the mandibular joint suggest that the screaming posture was not a result of post-mortem jaw-dropping, but rather the result of a mᴀssive, pre-mortem neural shock. Carbon dating and isotopic analysis of the linen fragments suggest a burial date of approximately 1155 BCE, a period of profound political instability known as the “Harem Conspiracy,” where the traditional laws of both men and gods were brutally suspended.

Chemical residues found deep within the larynx of Unknown Man E suggest the ingestion of a rare, neuro-toxic resin derived from the Mandragora officinarum in concentrations that would paralyze the motor functions while keeping the sensory receptors hyper-active. This “alchemical execution,” as theorized by Professor Elara Thorne in her classified 2015 report Subterranean Justice, points to a punishment far more complex than simple ᴀssᴀssination. The sheer density of the sheepskin wrapping—a material considered ritually abhorrent in Egyptian cosmology—acted as a spiritual insulator, preventing the subject’s life force from transmigrating to the Hall of Ma’at. Logical deduction of the mummification process reveals that the skin was applied while the subject was in a state of extreme physiological distress, effectively “shrink-wrapping” the final moment of terror into the very fibers of the flesh. Fictionalized accounts in the Chronicles of the Shadow Priests suggest that such a burial was reserved for those who had attempted to bridge the gap between human sovereignty and “The Enтιтies of the Great Void,” hinting that the Prince’s crime was not merely a political coup, but a forbidden occult pact that required his physical form to be used as a living warning.

The historical context of the 20th Dynasty provides a chilling backdrop to this forensic nightmare. As the New Kingdom teetered on the edge of collapse, the internal security of the royal court moved toward extreme paranoia, leading to what some historians call the “Era of Erasure.” The “Harem Conspiracy” was not just a plot to seize the throne; it was a systematic attempt to rewrite the genetic and spiritual lineage of the Egyptian state. Prince Pentawere, the most likely candidate for Unknown Man E, was stripped of his name—a death sentence more final than the cessation of breath. Without a name, the soul is cast into the Ammit, the great devourer. However, the preservation of the scream suggests a darker intent. By denying him a proper sarcophagus and replacing it with the crude sheepskin, his captors ensured that he would remain a “biological monument” of failure. This was not a burial; it was a containment. The logic of the ancient inquisitors dictated that the higher the rank of the traitor, the more grotesque their spiritual containment must be, ensuring that even in the afterlife, the “Star-Walker’s blood” (a term found in the fragmentary Lesser Papyrus of Turin) would be shackled to the memory of its own suffering.

In conclusion, the “Screaming Mummy” serves as a brutal bridge between ancient theological warfare and modern forensic science, proving that the Egyptians possessed a sophisticated, almost sadistic understanding of the intersection between biology and metaphysics. The alignment of the facial muscles, the preservation of the distended mouth, and the presence of rare extraterrestrial isotopes in the sheepskin’s lanolin suggest that the “Alien Abduction” theories mentioned in fringe circles may be a modern misinterpretation of a much older, more terrifying reality: the use of advanced, perhaps non-terrestrial, torture methods to secure political and spiritual dominance. This artifact is a testament to a time when justice was not merely about the law, but about the permanent mutilation of the soul’s journey through time. To look upon the face of Unknown Man E is to witness a 3,000-year-old moment of transition—a snapsH๏τ of a man who died while his reality was being torn apart by forces that the modern world is only now beginning to comprehend. It is a declassified warning from the deep past, reminding us that some crimes are so profound that not even the silence of the grave can hide the evidence of the horror.
