A mummy was discovered at the Taposiris Magna site, featuring a gold tongue sculpted to plead its case before the God-King Osiris during its judgment in the afterlife…
In ancient Egypt, the tongue was an essential attribute. It was not customary to value silence as gold, but rather the opposite; speech was believed to have the value of gold.
Whether the mummy had been mutilated during its lifetime or suffered from a speech impediment, this would explain its presence. And finally, this offering was worthy of the Egyptian Gods: Benefactors of wisdom and knowledge.
