RoofGardener Posted January 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2020 ROFL. I heard about this on BBC Radio 4 whilst I was driveing home. They actually PLAYED their simulation of the sound that the priest would have made. Umm... to say the least... it was unconvincing. (which they admited themselves.. they hadn't been able to simulate a tongue yet). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying squid Posted January 25, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Scientists Recreate The Voice of a 3,000-Year-Old Egyptian Priest's Mummy If the dead could talk, they'd probably have a lot to say. Still, it's pretty darn tough when you can only make one sound and you've lost your tongue.Under these unforgiving conditions, the 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy Nesyamun should be forgiven for merely grumbling out an "eeeeyhh".After several millennia of not making a peep, that was the sound scientists heard when they 3D printed the mummy's vocal tract - an elongated groan somewhere between the vowels of bed and bad. https://www.sciencealert.com/egyptian-mummy-from-3-000-years-ago-finally-makes-its-voice-heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
