A mummy, his coffin, a young Egyptologist. The mystery of Ankhpakhered has all the requirements to thrill visitors to the Museum of Archaeology and Palaeontology of Asti, where the mummy home since 1903 when he was given citizenship by Count Leonetto Ottolenghi. But with the Ankhpakhered mummy project, Sabina Malgora (curator of the Egyptian section of the Castle of Buonconsiglio) led to the finding around Europe for congresses, meetings and exhibitions on the ancient Egypt.
Asti it was discussed last Friday, the Centro San Secondo. Malgora described the sarcophagus, the "time capsule" dated between 945 and 715 BC. The sarcophagus, according to the hieroglyphics side contained the remains of a priest, Ankhpakhered, who lived at the XXII and XXIII dynasty and dedicated to the worship of the god Min The mummy was inside of it, however, is wrapped in a bandage too simple, with no registration and no nominal kit amulets appropriate for a member of the priestly caste, starting from the heart scarab, all of which, in addition to the many post-mortem fractures and bone found in scattered locations, suggests that the mummy found in the sarcophagus is not really that of Ankhpakhered.
Thus, exit from the pages of history, the mummy Asti, have already started to write my own little story. E ' underwent computed tomography at the Fatebenefratelli hospital in Milan, to date it and dividing it into 2950 axial images that have made possible the 3D reconstruction revealing the medical history. Even before it was brought to Aramengo, Nicola in the Laboratory for a restoration. The Mummy
Asti could for example have been crafted by some of the nineteenth century antiques to fill the sarcophagus increasing their market value, but for now jealously guards its mystery.
Maybe you can dissolve other tests, with a particular type of endoscopy, which will analyze the remains without dissolving the band. Maybe. If you find the funds necessary to finance the operation.
