ABSTRACT

Ramesses VI was apparently middle-aged-probably older than Ramesses V, but younger than Ramesses IV. His body was embalmed in the same manner as those of his two predecessors. No hair (excepting the eyelashes) is visible upon the face to the naked eye; but with a lens closely shaven hair of the beard and moustache can be detected. The part of the scalp of the forehead that is visible is bald; but on the scalp elsewhere short hairs (about 1 millimetre long) are present. The face, including the eyes and forehead, was thickly plastered with resinous paste. The ears were pierced. The teeth are only slightly worn.
