An ancient Egyptian mummified head: a second opinion.
We read with great interest the article “High-Resolution Imaging of an Ancient Egyptian Mummified Head: New Insights into the Mummification Process” by R. Gutpa, Y. Markowitz, L. Berman, and P. Chapman. Their observations are very interesting, but their conclusions are difficult to correlate with our knowledge of ancient Egyptian rituals and postmortem pathology. The authors’ analysis of radiol...
متن کاملTerahertz imaging modalities of ancient Egyptian mummified objects and of a naturally mummified rat.
During the last few years, terahertz (THz) imaging has been used to investigate artwork and historic artifacts. The application of THz imaging to mummy investigations is very attractive since it provides spectroscopic information over a broad frequency range and its radiation has proven to be harmless to human cells. However, compared with the current standard imaging methods in mummy imaging-X...
متن کاملHigh-resolution imaging of an ancient Egyptian mummified head: new insights into the mummification process.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Systematic facial mutilations during mummification have never been described before. The purpose of this work was to study a wrapped mummified head using high-resolution CT scanning. MATERIALS AND METHODS An isolated mummified head from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom was scanned at 200 mum isotropic resolution. A prototype flat panel CT scanner was used to generate 800 non...
متن کاملEgyptian Blue And/or Atacamite in an Ancient Egyptian Coffin
This work deals with the composition of the blue and green pigments used in the wooden sarcophagus studied by Abdelaal et al. and published in 2014 in this journal. From the published data, a degradation of the originally used Egyptian blue pigment is proposed. The presence of chlorine in the pigment deduced from SEM-EDS analyses and the greenish hue observed point to the formation of a certain...
متن کاملWealth distribution in an ancient Egyptian society.
Modern excavations yielded a distribution of the house areas in the ancient Egyptian city Akhetaten, which was populated for a short period during the 14th century B.C. Assuming that the house area has a power law dependence of the wealth of its inhabitants allows us to make a comparison of the wealth distributions in ancient and modern societies.
