Tracing the Sardinian Roots of the Usai Mummy: An Examination of Nuragic Influence in Ancient Egypt

Tracing the Sardinian Roots of the Usai Mummy: An Examination of Nuragic Influence in Ancient Egypt

Abstract

This paper explores the possible Sardinian origin of the Usai Mummy, housed in Bologna, examining the historical and cultural connections between the ancient Sardinian Nuragic civilization and the ancient Egyptian context. It presents evidence suggesting that the Nuragic people, who were known for their advanced metallurgical skills and distinct religious practices, migrated to Egypt due to rising sea levels that affected their original settlement. The research integrates archaeological and historical data, such as the presence of Sardinian elements in Egyptian artifacts and inscriptions, to propose that the Usai Mummy, found with a Sardinian surname, might be linked to this migration. The paper examines historical accounts of the Nuragic people's interaction with ancient Egyptian culture and their possible influence on the development of Egyptian society. By analyzing inscriptions, artifacts, and historical records, this study aims to provide a new perspective on the origins of the Usai Mummy and contribute to the understanding of ancient migrations and cultural exchanges between these two regions.
