en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2002
In the 11th Century BC a 50 year old priest called Horemkenesi was buried at Deir el-Bahri. Three thousand years later Mummy Ha 7386 was systematically unwrapped by a team at the Bristol Museum. The story of how an official at the necropolis in Thebes came to the UK and how his life and death were reconstructed through painstaking scientific research is told in this, the final report on the 'Bristol Mummy Project'. The large-format, well-illustrated book is divided into five sections: 'The Mummy and its Coffin' includes a detailed list of the Bristol mummy collection and its provenance and chapters on the decoration and construction of the coffin; 'Taking off the wraps' describes the process of unwrapping, the textiles and the preparation of the body; 'The palaeopathology' includes DNA analysis, dental and skeletal details; 'The anthropology' describes comparative craniometric studies; 'From tomb to laboratory - the environmental evidence' describes the beetles found embedded in the bandages, the chemical composition of the resins and archaeobotanical evidence from the body cavity. Finally 'The Osiris Horemkenesi, justified' presents a dramatic reconstruction of the head and a synthesis.
