The video tells the story of an Egyptian mummy discovered in a Paris suburb in 2001. Initially mistaken for trash, the mummy was eventually identified and sent to a local museum. The mummy, named Thais, dates back to the Ptolemaic period and was likely brought to France in the 19th century. Despite its mysterious journey, the mummy has undergone extensive restoration, costing €18,000. The restoration process revealed that Thais was a young girl, no older than five. The video concludes with plans for the mummy's public exhibition at a history museum.
