A mummified Ancient Egyptian priest is talking from beyond the grave thanks to modern technology.

Nesyamun, a priest at the time of pharaoh Ramses II the Pharaohs was mummified around 3,000 years ago.

His remains are so well preserved that scientists were able to map his throat, mouth and voice box using a CT scanner at Leeds General Infirmary, and recreate it using 3D printing.

The priest, who is normally on display at Leeds museum, was first unwrapped in 1824 and has 'true of voice' inscribed on his coffin.

The priest's mummy unusually has its tongue sticking out, leading some to speculate that he died in his mid-fifties from poisoning or a bee sting to his tongue (pictured).

The priest was put through a CT scanner (pictured) to recreate his voice.

He lived during the politically volatile reign of pharaoh Ramses XI (c.1099-1069 BC), working as a scribe and priest at the state temple of Karnak in Thebes , modern Luxor

The study conducted by academics at Royal Holloway, University of London, University of York and Leeds Museum took detailed scans and measurements of the mummy's vocal tract.

This was then used to recreate his larynx as a plastic copy.

The electronic larynx is similar to those used in modern medicine to give speech back to people who lost their voice.

The result is a single vowel sound but experts hope full sentences could be possible in the next two years.

They add that Nesyamun stated a desire to have his voice heard in the afterlife in order to live forever(inscribed on his coffin).


'Finding Nesyamun and discovering his vocal tract and soft tissues were in great order for us to be able to do this.'

Professor Joann Fletcher, of the department of archaeology at the University of York, added: 'Ultimately, this innovative interdisciplinary collaboration has given us the unique opportunity to hear the sound of someone long dead by virtue of their soft tissue preservation combined with new developments in technology.

'And while this has wide implications for both healthcare and museum display, its relevance conforms exactly to the ancient Egyptians' fundamental belief that "to speak the name of the dead is to make them live again".'

Science is indeed wonderful, helping man to unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations.

These oyinbo people will soon raise up an evil spirit one day

Hmm

These people shouldn't invoke a curse on us
We ain't done with physical problems we have, let them not add spiritual problems to us

Tech really is doing wonders

Booked

The machine did the talking. Egyptian Mummy said nothing.

Ride on Mr Explorer........

Hm

These people again. Sometimes I wonder why they dig up all these remains. They should allow them to rest in peace. Haba someone cannot rest in peace again.

The next thing is to raise the mummy from the dead.

Oyibo people sef

Kai. These people will unearth HELL that’ll eventually consume us. There are some things you let lie.

Some are not resting in peace yet you still exhume their remains. Oga o

Oyinbo fit recreate anything.

Science is indeed going far

I hope this people won't raise up trouble one day
