Mummy Resembles Popular ‘Simpsons’ Character
Recently, a mummy was discovered in Egypt that has drawn significant attention due to the unusual appearance of the coffin’s decorations. The coffin, unearthed in a 3,500-year-old cemetery in Minya, dates back to the New Kingdom period, specifically between 1550 BC and 1069 BC. The cemetery is believed to have been designated for priests and senior officials. Social media and news outlets, including the New York Post, have highlighted that the artwork on the coffin’s lid bears a striking resemblance to Marge Simpson, a character from the beloved animated TV show “The Simpsons.” The depiction shows a figure with a notable yellow coloration, large blue rectangular ‘crown’, and a lime-green strapless dress, similar to Marge’s iconic hairstyle and dress color. Additional imagery on the sarcophagus includes other figures in similar attire, which appear to be paying homage to the larger figure, accompanied by hieroglyphic inscriptions. This unusual resemblance has sparked discussions and coverage in various media, capturing public intrigue.

While Marge doesn’t don a crown, she does have tall blue rectangle hair similar to that of the image of the figure on the coffin, yellow skin, and definitely wears a green strapless dress.
Along both sides of the sarcophagus drawing were smaller drawings of figures wearing the same lime-green dress while kneeling and appearing to pay homage to the larger figurine, along with hieroglyphics that include the name of the “deceased, titles, and religious text,” the release noted.
Over on Reddit, users couldn’t help but notice the eerie comparison of the drawing of the larger figure to the “Simpsons” character.
“Marge?” one person commented.

Another added, “Unreal.”
While a third wrote, “Egypt predicted Simpsons.”
One person even remarked that the creator of the long time series, “Matt Groening,” was “really” “a time traveler.”
It was an obvious reference to the joke that “The Simpsons” have been able to predict the future more than once. The show previously predicted the creation of technology similar to the Apple Vision Pro, FaceTime, the COVID pandemic, and more recently the Titanic submersible explosion.
Entertainment Weekly recently did a piece titled, “20 Times ‘The Simpsons’ Predicted the Future” during the cartoon’s 35 seasons. The piece included what appeared in the cartoon episode and what ended up happening that same year or years later.
