The Linen Cloth

Current Scans showed from an Egyptian mummy, which, was discovered in the nineteenth century, showed that a young male from a horrible case of abscesses (a swollen area) and  cavities inside of his teeth. Scientists, although can not tell exactly what his age of death was, estimated it either to be in his earl twenty or thirty's. Less advanced showed that there was a large mass inside of his moth, but with current technology we now know that it was in fact a linen cloth in between two of his molars. this linen cloth was placed as a protective barrier between the molars, and was probably soaked with a pain killer device then put into the moth for relief. You can tell that technology has come a very long way from what it has had before, now we do not have to rely on those methods as they did back then.
