The resurrection of a Pharaoh
|
The ancient Egyptians believed in resurrection after death and that is why
they mummified their dead elite and royal class.
Technology of today could literally almost fulfil this resurrection by cloning techniques
but another technology was used to reconstruct the live image of a pharaoh.
Under the leadership of Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, National Geographic has used the CT data to show the world how Tut looked the day he died, some 3,300 years ago. The process involved forensic artists and physical anthropologists from two countries and created two independently made busts of Tut.
The scientific breakthrough: Some 1,700 high-resolution Siemens CT-scanner images of the world’s most famous mummy — King Tutankhamun. The opportunity: Besides providing boundless information on the health and possible cause of death of the legendary young king, the data could paint a fresh portrait of Tut’s face — the first bust of Tut ever created from 3-D CT scans.
