“Ginger” is one of six naturally mummified bodies which were found in the late 1800s in shallow graves in the Egyptian desert. He is the most famous, likely due to his unusual red hair and that it was the first mummy to be exhibited in public in 1901. Ginger and the other bodies found with it are the oldest known mummies in existence, dating back to about 3400 BCE. At the time, Egyptians did not commonly mummify their dead artificially. Instead, they let nature do its work, the bodies of their loved ones naturally dried and mummified by the warm sand they were buried in.
