King Ramesses III's throat was slit, analysis reveals


Recommended Posts

The BBC is carrying this report on recent research into Ramesses IIIs death

 

Conspirators murdered Egyptian King Ramesses III by slitting his throat, experts now believe, based on a new forensic analysis.

 

The first CT scans to examine the king's mummy reveal a cut to the neck deep enough to be fatal.

 

The secret has been hidden for centuries by the bandages covering the mummy's throat that could not be removed for preservation's sake

 

The full report is in the British Medical Journal
