Scientists have fulfilled a mummified ancient Egyptian’s wish to speak again after death by replicating his voice with artificial vocal cords 🤯
Nesyamun was a priest who lived during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses XI, between 1099 and 1069BC. As a priest in Thebes, Nesyamun would have needed a strong voice for his ritual duties, which involved singing.
When Nesyamun died, his voice fell silent, but 3,000 years on, a team of researchers have brought it back to life using a 3-D printed vocal tract.” | Posted on 17/Feb/2023 02:19:46
