Who is Pa-Ib?
The name "Pa-Ib" comes from a translation of an inscription on the mummy's coffin. During the 20th century, the most readily available information came from the mummy itself. It was believed that the mummy was a male and the third prophet of the god Min. Recent studies have indicated that the mummy is not original to the coffin and visa versa.
