• a body of a human being or animal that
has been ceremonially preserved by
removal of the internal organs, treatment
with resin and wrapping in bandages.
• Egypt’s arid climate made it easy to dry
out and mummify a corpse
• The Egyptians routinely used a more
elaborate process of mummification.

Aﬀairs

• Hawass has written and co-written many
books relating to Egyptology.
• Hawass has brought the world of the
pharaohs into the homes and hearts of
people around the world through numerous
television appearances and books.
• Hawass has appeared on television specials
on channels such as the National Geographic
Channel, The History Channel & Discovery
Channel.

• In 2005, as part of the National Geographic
Society-sponsored Egyptian Mummy Project
to learn more about patterns of disease,
health, and mortality in ancient Egypt, he led
a team that CT scanned the mummy of King
Tutankhamun.
• His team is continuing to CT scan mummies,
both royal and private, and hopes to solve
some of the mysteries surrounding the lives
and deaths of such important figures as
Hatshepsut and Nefertiti.

Ø Howard Carter (9 May
1874 – 2 March 1939)

• Lord Carnarvon employed him to supervise
Carnarvon's Egyptian excavations in the

• the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth
Dynasty

prosperity and artistic splendour, when
Egypt reached the peak of its artistic and
international power.
• When he died in the 38th or 39th year of
his reign, his son initially ruled as
Amenhotep IV

• Successor of Amenhotep III.
• Ruled for 17 years
• Abandoned traditional Egyptian
polytheism & introduced worship of
Aten - the sun disk.
• Changed his own royal name
to Akhenaten - 'servant of the Aten'

• Akhenaten tried to shift his culture
from Egypt's traditional religion,
but the shifts were not widely
accepted. After his death, his
monuments were dismantled and
h i d d e n , h i s s t a t u e s w e r e
destroyed.

• Was a short-lived pharaoh in the
late 18th dynasty.

Tutankhamun, “the living image of
Amun”
• He restored the old ways
• He reigned for 9 years & then died
unexpectedly.

• It was initiated by Zahi Hawass
• It used modern forensic techniques
such as CAT scans to study both
royal and nonroyal mummies.
• Result of the Project - in 2010 it was
determined that Tutankhamen was
the son of Akhenaten and probably
died of complications from malaria
and bone disease.

• HQ -Washington, D.C., US. Estd. - 1888
• It is one of the largest non-profit
scientific & educational organisations
• Founded in 1888.
• Its interests - geography, archaeology,
and natural science, the promotion
of environmental and historical conserv
ation, and the study of world
culture and history.

• It is a Germany-based technology
company with activities in the fields of
electrification, automation and
digitalization. It is also a supplier of
systems for power generation and
transmission, as well as medical diagnosis.
• One of the world’s largest producers of
energy-efficient, resource-saving
technologies

• A CT scan results in your body being
subjected to a dose of radiation that is
over 100 times that for a simple X-ray as it
takes hundreds of 'shots'.
• The CT scanner is a ring-shaped machine.
• Inside is an X-ray tube that produces a
narrow, fan-shaped, beam of X-rays.
These are fired through your body towards
an array of detectors on the opposite side
of the ring

• Radiology is a specialty of medicine in
which images of the body’s organs are
interpreted in order to diagnose disease.
• A number of different imaging exams can
be used to provide this view, including X-
ray, MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging),
ultrasound, CT(Computed Tomography)
scan and PET(Positron Emission
Tomography) scan.

• Forensic science draws upon a variety of
scientific disciplines, including biology,
physics, chemistry, medicine etc.

A forensic scientist may use the following
Firearms identification and ballistics
Document examination DNA analysis Fingerprinting
Autopsy techniques Anthropology Pathology
Hair and fibre analysis Bloodstain pattern identification
Odontology (study of bite marks, teeth structure) Biometrics
Disaster identification (e.g., identifying bodies, and cause of death)
Analysis of lip prints (cheiloscopy)
Toxicology (study of alcohol and drugs)
Serology (study of blood and other biological fluids)

• A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital
image or graphic that can be displayed
and represented on a digital display
device.
• Pixels are combined to form a complete
image, video, text or any visible thing on a
computer display.
• A pixel is also known as a picture element.
