Meritamun
Meritamun means “beloved of the god Amun.” University of Melbourne researchers introduced this queen after they discovered her skull while looking through their archives. She was from ancient Egypt, so it is quite perplexing how her skull succeeded in traveling across the globe. Being a Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Ramesses the Great, Meritamun was buried in Egypt’s Valley of the Queens.

Researchers could not find out a lot of details about Meritamun because only her skull was found, but they managed to find out that she was between 18 and 25 years old when she died. However, her cause of death remains a mystery. In addition, they also discovered that she likely had a sweet tooth owing to her tooth decay. Sugar was introduced to Egypt by Alexander the Great around the time that the queen lived.
