FBI identifies 4,000-year-old zombie

Since 1915, when the damaged head of the zombie was found on the corner of a tomb of Deir el Bersha, Egypt, archaeologists had not been able to find out who it belongs to, although the writings on the walls were deciphered by showing that the tomb bore the bodies of a governor named Djehutynakh and his wife.

For experts, that was a completely unknown name. Now, almost 100 years later, the Federal Bureau of Investigation took over the case, which after research published in Gene magazine, confirmed that the zombie head was undoubtedly a male.

The advanced techniques enabled a DNA sample to be extracted from the zombie's teeth and further tests proved to be the governor himself. Curators explain that the FBI has developed a highly sophisticated method of rebuilding almost every damaged DNA.

When they came to recreate it The DNA of a 4,000-year-old tooth can do that absolutely with anything else, experts say. The difficulties were not small at all, as the zombie head was found in desert ambition and high temperatures, affect DNA degradation much faster than in normal conditions.
