More about the book

The story revolves around a remarkably well-preserved mummy of a handsome nineteen-year-old boy, dating back nearly two millennia. Unlike typical mummies, this one shows no signs of decay and retains a soft texture, resembling a young sleeper. Intriguingly, it also appears to have never been eviscerated, raising questions about its preservation and the circumstances surrounding the boy's death. The narrative invites exploration of ancient practices and the mysteries of life and death.
