Research reveals new details about ’screaming female mummy’, including hypotheses about facial expressions
大きく口を開け、叫び声を上げているような表情が永遠に固定された古代エジプトの女性
An ancient Egyptian woman with a wide-mouthed, screaming expression permanently fixed on her face.
This woman sparked the imagination of archaeologists who discovered her mummified body near Luxor in 1935.
約３５００年前に亡くなった「叫ぶ女性」に今なお魅了され、別の研究チームがこのほど、ＣＴスキャンでミイラの形態や健康状態、保存状況の詳細を明らかにする調査を行った
Still fascinated by the ”screaming woman” who died about 3,500 years ago, another research team recently conducted a CT scan to uncover details about the mummy’s form, health, and preservation status.
Using infrared imaging and other advanced techniques, researchers attempted a ”virtual autopsy” of the corpse to find the cause of the striking facial expressions.
医学誌フロンティア・イン・メディシンに２日付で発表された研究結果では、年齢と共に変化する骨盤の関節の分析から、女性が４８歳であったことが判明
A study published in the medical journal Frontier in Medicine on the 2nd revealed that the woman was 48 years old after analyzing the changes in pelvic joints with age.
It has also been discovered that some of the processes used for mummification are unique.
カイロ大カスル・アイニー病院の放射線科教授を務める論文の著者、サハル・サレーム氏によると、遺体には乳香やネズの樹脂による防腐処理が施されていた
The body was embalmed with frankincense and juniper resin, said study author Sahar Saleem, a professor of radiology at Cairo University’s Qasr Aini Hospital.
These were expensive luxury items that were likely brought from far away for trade.
