Scientists have recreated the voice of an ancient, 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy using 3D printing, medical scanners and an electronic larynx.
Nesyamun lived during the politically volatile reign of pharaoh Ramses XI.
They were able to reproduce a single vowel sound, which sounds like something between the vowels in the words"bed" and"bad." Nesyamun lived during the politically volatile reign of pharaoh Ramses XI , working as a scribe and priest at the state temple of Karnak in Thebes, which is modern Luxor. Researchers used a non-destructive CT scan to confirm that a significant part of the structure of the larynx and throat of Nesyamun remained intact as a result of the mummification process. This allowed the authors to measure the vocal tract shape from CT images.
