Ramses II a famous ancient Egyptian king who ruled from 1279-1212 BC was buried in the famous royal necropolis of the Valley of the Kings. However, the mummy of Ramses II was not found in his tomb, but among many other royal mummies in the Royal Cache in Deir el-Bahri. The mummy came with an explanation - a hieroglyphic text. The text explained that the mummy was removed from the actual royal tomb for safety reasons by Egyptian priests around 1070 BC after robbers violated the burial. One more shifting took Ramses II to the Royal Cache. The mummy is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Anthropologists were studying the mummy when it started showing signs of a strange skin infection. Know what his doctors did? They got him a passport and flew him to Paris for tests and treatment!
