## Image Caption

These two mummies are identified as Aline's daughters, from the [Tomb](https://www.worldhistory.org/tomb/) of Aline, c. 24 CE. The girl on the left is older (4 years old) than the one on the right, who is 2.5 years old (the latter was initially thought to be a boy, not a girl). The names of these two girls are unknown. The portrait of the older girl somewhat resembles that of her mother; a serious-looking girl looks at us from a colorfully executed face. Early [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) period of [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). They are on display at the Neues Museum, Berlin, Germany. The tomb of Aline was unearthed in 1892 CE by the German archaeologist Richard von Kaufmann (1850 - 1908 CE). A hewn stele carved with a [Greek](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/greek/) inscription mentions the name Aline as the owner of the tomb; the [grave](https://www.worldhistory.org/burial/) was named after this woman's name.
