@chillsahoy2640 4 года назад

The level of respect shown towards Tahemaa and the Egyptian culture that mummified her reminds me of the conversation Emily Graslie and Caitlin Doughty had recently, regarding how to ethically conserve and display, or return, human specimens in museum collections.

I keep looking at the blue fabric and wondering when it was put in. Kinda looks like a machine stitch on those edges. But then I start zoning in on the bandages and ignoring the macro and think about how people had to sheer animals, make string, weave all that cloth and its still around today

@bethanypalumbo6703 4 года назад

Thats a great compliment and I'm taking it!

@RFC3514 4 года назад

Both forms have been listed in English dictionaries (and used in medical texts) for centuries, with the same meaning. At one point "preventative" became a euphemism for contraceptive, but it was derived from the same meaning (i.e., a way to prevent pregnancy).

@moflyboyblanquito541 4 года назад

Um that rendition of her with African hair is the first I’ve ever seen. They always had straight hair in all I’ve ever seen.

@eerbrev 4 года назад

Yeah, conservators and historians have sort of come to the conclusion that egyptians having straight, european-like hair isn't accurate. neither was it exactly like the hair of modern people in the region, but that's closer to what it would have been like.

@ikbintom 4 года назад

Might there be 3000 year old insects too?

@matbroomfield 4 года назад

Nope, definitely not. I noticed the shape of that fly was a species of diptera that only evolved about 2937 years ago. Also, the way the linen crumbled denoted that it was made from a type of flax not palatable to the typical Egyptian Phlebotominae, (or sand fly) of that period. If you note the spectral properties of the wood used in the case, it was most likely sycamore, a wood which contains a high concetration of Diethyl-meta-toluamide which is a natural insect repellent, but which decays after approximately 216 years. All in all, I'd say your ridiculous hypothesis stumbles at the most superficial of examination.

Is the inside of the coffin lid painted? I've seen one recently that had a painting of the person inside.

@RollaArtis 4 года назад

I see tree rings - maybe one could do some dendrochronolgy to find out when exactly the coffin was made?

@Macieks300 4 года назад

I think tree rings would only tell you how old was the tree when it was cut. And you'd have to have all of the cross section for that too.

@lpsowns 4 года назад

They'd likely have already done some form of radiometric dating on the coffin itself and anything inside. That would have told them approximately how old the coffin and body were.

@RollaArtis 4 года назад

@@lpsowns Well they probably know how old the body is because of the inscriptions. But it would be interesting to know if the coffin is original to the body, it may have been applied at a later date. Apparently these things can happen.

@jonas1015119 4 года назад

I'm also not sure whether we have a complete dendrochronological record for egypt going back that far. There are some for greece and the levante, but egypt isnt really known for its abundance of trees, especially lower egypt.

@apinakapinastorba 4 года назад

Maciek300 Not exactly true. If one has enough growth ring samples for a time period in an area, one can estimate when the tree was growing.

@larryscott3982 4 года назад

Why not perform the freezing treatment anyway to be sure? Are there detrimental effects? Or is due to it cost?

Cost and resources- the Bournemouth Natural Science Society is completely volunteer-run so resources are especially limited. Thanks for watching!

@WolfgangKeim1 4 года назад

Why not use co2 for killing bugs?

@bethanypalumbo6703 4 года назад

While CO2 is great for killing insects, the costs involved are too great for such a small museum. Thanks for watching!

@DeconvertedMan 2 года назад

To get rid of the pests - why not put the thing in a giant vacuum chamber and get rid of all air? That would do it wouldn't it?

@darkravens1136 4 года назад

6:00 wouldn't putting it in a nitrogen gas chamber also kill everything without possible damage from freezing?

@Kroona94 4 года назад

CO2 would work as well. But some pigments could change from the lack of oxygen.

@bethanypalumbo6703 4 года назад

Freezing is actually the standard method of pest control used in the museum field. This is because it is highly effective while costing very little. Risks of damage can be avoided by packing objects sufficiently to avoid condensation and allowing objects to acclimatise slowly. Thanks for watching!

Honest question-- if a 3000-year-old mummy has, say, 2000-year-old bugs on it, isn't that also part of her history? Is removing old insects erasing potential historical information?

If the insects were important, they'd have their own sarcophagus. Those are insect plebs.
