概要

In this episode, we explore one of archaeology’s most controversial scientific mysteries: the discovery of nicotine and cocaine in ancient Egyptian mummies.

In the 1990s, forensic toxicologist Dr. Svetlana Balabanova analyzed hair and tissue samples from 3,000-year-old mummies and reported surprising results that challenged established historical timelines.

If cocaine comes from South American coca plants and tobacco was unknown in the ancient Old World, how could these substances appear in Egyptian remains? Was it contamination, lost botanical knowledge, or evidence of ancient long-distance trade?

Join us as we examine the science, the forensic methods, and the ongoing debate surrounding the Balabanova mummy mystery.
