The chamber dates from the 26th dynasty (664-525 BC). The workshop was located near King Unas&#8217; pyramid. It contained 121 bowls and beakers that contained residue that researchers were able to identify.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was fascinated with this chemical knowledge of ancient Egyptians,\u201d Phillip Stockhammer, professor of prehistoric archeology, Max Planck Institute, and senior author of this study,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/science\/ancient-egyptians-mummification-chemistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. \u201cThey knew immediately they needed antibacterial, antifungal substances to keep the skin preserved, and this is without having any microbiology background.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stockhammer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/secrets-mummy-making-revealed-residues-ancient-urns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Notes<\/a> Researches have had to guess at what Egyptians used during the mummification process.
