- Henut_Taui abstract "Henut Taui (d. ca 1000 BC) was a Twenty-First dynasty Ancient Egyptian priestess, whose remains were mummified. German toxicologist Svetlana Balabanova discovered traces of coca and nicotine in her body, which is significant, in that the coca and tobacco plants are native to the Americas, and were not thought to have been present in Africa until after Columbus voyaged to America. Similar findings were later discovered in other mummies. The significance of these finds lies in the fact that both coca and tobacco plants are indigenous to the Americas and were thought not to have existed in Africa until sometime after the voyages of Columbus. Subsequent examination of numerous Sudanese mummies undertaken by Balabanova mirrored what was found in the mummy of Henut Taui. Balabanova suggested that the tobacco may be accounted for since it may have also been known in China and Europe, as indicated by analysis run on human remains from those respective regions. Balabanova proposed that such plants native to the general area may have developed independently, but have since gone extinct. Other explanations include fraud, though curator Alfred Grimm of the Egyptian Museum in Munich disputes this. Skeptical of Balabanova's findings, Rosalie David, Keeper of Egyptology at the Manchester Museum, had similar tests performed on samples taken from the Manchester mummy collection and reported that two of the tissue samples and one hair sample did test positive for nicotine. Sources of nicotine other than tobacco and sources of cocaine in the Old World are discussed by the British biologist Duncan Edlin.".
