The Persian Princess

This episode of Strange Matters presents a historical mystery known as the Persian Princess.  In November of 2000, an amazing discovery was made when a police raid in Pakistan turned up a mummy.  Though already highly unusual, what made this case even more astounding was the fact that this new mummy appeared to be unique from every other mummy ever found before.  This new found mummy was claimed not to be an Egyptian, but instead an ancient Persian princess who lived 2,600 years ago.

At first appearances, It looked as if this was the find of a lifetime.
However, after an investigation was launched to determine the legitimacy of this so called Persian Princess, the story on this historic marvel suddenly would take a dark turn.
