Egyptian mummies have always aroused popular and scientific
interest; however, most modern studies, although significantly
increased in number and range, have been published in specialist
journals. Now, this unique book, written by a long-established team
of scientists, brings this exciting, cross-disciplinary area of
research to a wider readership. It shows how this team's
multidisciplinary, investigative methods and the unique resource of
the Egyptian Mummy Tissue Bank are being used for the new major
international investigations of disease evolution and ancient
Egyptian pharmacy and pharmacology. It also assesses the current
status of palaeopathology and ancient DNA research, and treatments
available for conserving mummified remains. Descriptions of the
historical development of Egyptian mummifications and medicine and
detailed references to previous scientific investigations provide
the context for firsthand accounts of cutting-edge research by
prominent specialists in this field, demonstrating how these
techniques can contribute to a new perspective on Egyptology.
