•Last meal of crocodile mummified in ancient Egypt revealed in CT scans 3,000 years later
78% Informative
CT scans reveal details of the final hours in the life of a crocodile that was mummified by the ancient Egyptian embalmers.
Using a CT scanner, we were able to determine how the animal died and how the body was treated after death.
To the Egyptians , animals served an important religious function, moving between the earthly and divine realms.
My research focuses on the non-invasive study of mummified animal remains from ancient Egypt .
I lead a project which reunites archaeological remains in museums around the world to enable the cross-examination of a large and varied dataset.
Identification of taxa through radiography alone can be problematic, particularly in the case of incomplete bodies or fragmented remains.
