Takabuti was the first mummy to be unwrapped in Ireland, in 1835.
The coffin was opened and the mummy unrolled on 27 January 1835 in Belfast Natural History Society's museum at College Square North. Edward Hincks, a leading Egyptologist from Ireland, was present and deciphered the Egyptian hieroglyphs which revealed that she was a noblewoman and the mistress of a great house. Her mother's name was Tasenirit and her father was Nespare, a priest of Amun. She was buried in a cemetery west of Thebes. It was initially suggested that Takabuti was murdered due to knife wounds found on her body.
