Fact-check: Was a mummy found during ASI excavation near Gorakhpur, like in Egypt?

An Egyptian-like mummy was found in ASI's excavation near Gorakhpur? read fact-check

A claim is circulating on social media that during ASI excavation near Gorakhpur, a mummy was found like the one found in Egypt. It was claimed that similar to the Egyptian mummy, a mummy was also found with daily use items. During the excavation, it was noticed that there was a very faint voice around it. After months of research by scientists from America, Britain, France, Russia, and China, the voices were decoded and it was found that there was a message in a thousand-year-old language that Modi’s government would still be formed in 2024.

Verified user Uday Thakur tweeted this claim along with a picture of the mummy in about 1700 words.

Fact-check:

To check the authenticity of this viral claim, the DFRAC team searched for some keywords on Google, but could not find any news related to this claim.

Then the team visited the official website of ASI and found that the Tamrlekha inscription of Sohgaura is an ancient inscription written on a copper plate found near Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. The ASI report link is available for reference.

However, during this search, the team found media reports about the discovery of a 500-year-old Buddhist mummy in Himachal Pradesh.

While reverse-searching the image of the mummy used by social media users, the DFRAC team found that the same image was used in a report published by website ibtimes.co.in in April 2014. This report is about a mummy found in Egypt which has brain but no heart.

Conclusion:

This fact-check by DFRAC makes it clear that the claims made by Uday Thakur and other social media users about finding a mummy similar to the one found in Egypt near Gorakhpur are false.
