The mummy is estimated at two thousand years.
The scientists were able to restore the image of the ancient Egyptians, called Marianum (beloved of Anum), her mummy, whose age is estimated at about two thousand years. In the course of the study, the scientists combined medical research, forensics, computer tomography, 3D printing and knowledge of Egyptology, according to the website of Monash University.
According to researchers, Marianum died at the age of 18 – 25 years, her mummified head was discovered a few years ago at the University of Melbourne. Likely that the head Marianum brought to Australia Professor of anatomy Frederick Jones, who in the 1930-ies participated in the expedition to Egypt.
Growth Americanum was about 162 centimeters. The researchers also discovered she had significant tooth decay, which may indicate that she lived once in Egypt were imported sugar, that is, after its conquest by Alexander the great. However, such destruction could be the consequence of excessive consumption of honey.
In addition, the researchers noticed two severe abscess that had developed from the inflammation of the teeth, and pathology of the bones, which can indicate anemia. Americanum could carry malaria or schistosomiasis. Using only data from the skull Marianum researchers are unable to establish the exact cause of her death, but it is likely that she died because of anemia or abscesses.
Previously, the team of Greek architects introduced the project on the reconstruction of the ancient statue of Colossus of Rhodes. According to the architects, the statue will be five times larger than the original, and will reach 135 meters in height. Standing statue will be at the old place: at the entrance to the Bay of the port city of Rhodes. The ships entering the Bay will be like in ancient times to swim between the legs of the statue.
