Four mysterious packages were found on the abdomen and legs of the mummy of Schepenese when she was unwrapped in 1993. Here we show by chemical analysis that at least one of them contains human tissue, presumably the intestines, sodium chloride, bitumen ans sand. The composition of a sample is to 85% of organic origin (about 71% human tissue and 14% bitumen), about 9% is common salt and 6% is desert sand. It is concluded that Schepenese's viscera were preserved with common salt and bitumen. Trace analysis displays enhanced values of molybdenum. The occurrence of this metal is linked to bitumen used for mummification
