研究人员对达赫舒尔出土的六具古埃及皇室木乃伊进行了骨骼分析，发现这些王室女性长期进行弓箭和武器训练，而非仅作为陪葬品的象征性武器摆设1。这些公主生活在约公元前1850-1700年的中王国时期，其中四具为阿蒙涅姆哈特二世的姐妹和女儿1。
骨骼特征提供了直接的体力活动证据1。公主伊塔（年龄28-34岁）展现出强大的上肢肌肉附着点，而公主肯美特（晚30多或40多岁）具有强劲的韧带附着点1。公主伊塔韦雷特（年龄20-34岁）的遗骨则显示肋骨骨折和足部骨折愈合迹象，整体骨骼特征表明她是一名熟练的弓箭手1。Zeinab Hashesh博士领导的研究团队指出："王室成员，尤其是女性，曾是积极参与弓箭和狩猎等技能性、体力劳动的参与者"1。这些陪葬品包括弓、箭、匕首和狼牙棒等武器1，原始出土于1890年代，在2020年于埃及博物馆整理时被重新确认1。
Skeletal analysis of six royal mummies discovered in Dahshur has revealed that ancient Egyptian princesses were active practitioners of archery and combat, not merely symbolic bearers of weapons placed in their tombs.1 Research on the remains, dating to approximately 1850-1700 BCE and originally excavated in the 1890s but re-examined at the Egyptian Museum in 2020, shows that these royal women possessed the physiological adaptations characteristic of rigorous weapons training.1
Among the examined individuals were princesses Ita, aged 28-34; Khnemmet, in her late thirties or forties; and Itaweret, aged 20-34, all sisters and daughters of Amenemhat II.1 Princess Ita displayed pronounced upper arm musculature indicative of sustained archery practice, while Khnemmet showed powerful ligament attachments consistent with experienced weapons use.1 Itaweret's skeleton bore evidence of multiple fractures, including breaks to her ribs and feet, alongside structural features identifying her as a skilled archer.1 The tombs themselves contained bows, arrows, daggers, and war clubs, artifacts that researchers now interpret as tools of actual use rather than mere funerary symbols.1 According to the research team led by Dr. Zeinab Hashesh, "Members of the royal family, especially the women, were active participants in skilled, physically demanding activities such as archery and hunting."1
