早也有人写过辟谣的文章，其中说明谣言的原出处是一份小报Weekly World News。并把真实照片和杂志上经过嫁接的照片作了对比。然后作者作了简单的阐释：照片的原身是世界上保存最完好的皇室木乃伊之一的埃及的国王King Sethos（有时称作King Seti）一世，也是木乃伊中第一个双手掌贴前胸的国王。他是第19王朝的国王，墓地曾被盗且木乃伊本身遭到损坏，随后在第21王朝得到修复。很明显，这俱所谓的女木乃伊孕妇正是现在被存放在埃及开罗博物馆的埃及国王King Sethos一世的木乃伊。作者调侃地说：“一个国王（男人！）能怀孕吗？也许吧……如果这样可以卖出更多的小报的话。”原文段是这样的：
Do you see more than a little similarity (except for the doctored abdomen of the pregnant mummy) between the two photos? King Sethos (sometimes called Seti) I is one of the best preserved royal mummies ever found in Egypt, and the first king to have his palms laid flat against his chest. He lived during the 19th Dynasty (his tomb was robbed, his mummy damaged, but was later repaired during the 21st Dynasty). Clearly the female mummy is actually Sethos I, who now resides in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Could the King be pregnant? Perhaps...if it would sell more tabloids.
文章的最后一段说到，You know better than to be fooled by the WWN. Could a dead person conceive a child? Absolutely not. On the other hand, a number of pregnant mummies have been found (they may well have died during child birth or of complications during the pregnancy)...but sonograms have not revealed any beating hearts! 译文：你们总不会被WWN愚弄吧。一个死人能怀孕吗？完全不可能。另一方面，相当数量的已怀孕的木乃伊已被发掘（她们可能正死在怀孕期间或者由于难产而死）……但是，没有任何声相显示有心跳存在。作者: 观星 时间: 2010-6-2 19:36
