Scanning the Pharaohs. The royal mummies in the Cairo Museum are an important source of information about the lives of the ancient Egyptians. The remains of these Egyptian Pharaohs and Queens can teach us so much about the ages they live to, the medical conditions from which they suffered, and the mummification process used. This book contains the results of the latest scientific technology and DNA anayses performed on the royal mummies of the Eighteenth to Twentieth Dynasties.
New imaging techniques not only reveal a wealth of information about each mummy, but render amazingly lifelike and detailed images of the remains. In addition, utilizing 3D images, the anatomy of each face has been discerned for a more accurate interpretation of a mummy's facial features.
