In 1998, an archeological team led by French professor Francoise Dunand discovered around 60 mummies from 50 tombs at Ain Labakha, a Roman fort in southwestern Egypt, including this 10 year-old girl pictured here, freshly exhumed, resting on the desert sand.

The entire gallery of images is fascinating but this image is particularly haunting. As Radiolab points out, the perfectly preserved hair is just too bizarre.
