EGYPT -- Egyptian scientists have digitally unwrapped the mummified remains of the pharaoh Amenhotep I, revealing tantalizing details about the life and death of the Egyptian king for the first time since the mummy was discovered in 1881.
Using non-invasive, digital techniques, Egyptian scientists have used three-dimensional computerized tomography scanning to unwrap the 3,500-year-old mummy and study its contents. Saleem and her colleagues found that Amenhotep I was about 35 years old and 169 centimeters tall when he died. He was also circumcised and had healthy teeth. Some 30 amulets and a unique gold girdle were found within the wrappings.
Amenhotep I ruled Egypt for about 21 years, between 1525 and 1504 BC. He was the second king of the 18th Dynasty and had a largely peaceful reign during which he built many temples.
