Nesyamun was an Egyptian priest who lived over 3000 years ago, during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses XI (c.1099-1069 BC).
Nesyamun died in his mid-50s. His mummified remains are in our collection, on display at @LeedsCityMuseum.
Including....
...his perfectly intact larynx.pic.twitter.com/HXl4ZKSghV
Now. The shape of a person’s vocal tract produces a unique sound.
Nesyamun’s vocal tract is wonderfully preserved, which is
VERY LUCKY
considering he survived the bombing of the museum during WW2 which destroyed all of the other mummies in the collection.pic.twitter.com/vbfsZYM51G
Which means that an electronic engineer archaeologist Egyptologist museum curator clinical scientist and archaeological scientist were able to scan Nesyamun’s remains, and recreate his vocal tract using a 3D printer. Printing a mummy’s vocal tract! In Leeds! In 2016!pic.twitter.com/JWEqrmPsnh
Because of this, we’ve been able to exactly replicate the sound that would have come from Nesyamun’s vocal tract 3000 years ago. We’re talking pitch, volume, vibrato. And isn’t that wonderful? WHO WANTS TO HEAR IT PUT YOUR HANDS UPhttps://youtu.be/1iQrESd1OH4

Amazing!!! Just one more reason to love @LeedsMuseums
love YOU Dr Niamh
