In the days of Pharaoh Rameses XI, who reigned during the early 11th century BC, writes The Guardian, explains Periscope.
The Mummy of the Nessiamun, recently at the Leeds City Museum, was subject to many controversy: it was broken up in 1824, revealing that he was 50 years old when he died.
His death, which some claim occurred as a result of a respiratory breakdown, some are saying that an allergic reaction occurred.
But even though Nesiamu was unfortunate when he died, he was very lucky later: his zombie was removed shortly before the German bombs on Leeds in 1941 destroyed the entire museum and its artifacts.
Now, a team of researchers have done a 3D reproduction of sound Thracians to hear how this old man would have the voice.
What we've done is create the Nessiamune voice while he's in the sarcophagus. It's not a voice from a speech, because he's obviously not talking dead. David Howard, head of the electronic engineering department at Royal Halloway.
They had done a series of CT scans. Of these, the engineering team was able to produce digital reconstruction of Neysamun's voice. /Periscope
