 Beauty secrets of Seti I's mummy

National Geographic (Sept 2020)

In my studies, I discovered the secret behind the beauty of the mummy of Seti I. The CT scans showed that the embalmers placed 'fillers' underneath the skin of the mummy's face around the nose-mouth, cheeks, and in the temporal region. A process similar to modern plastic procedures and also in the same regions targeted nowadays!

Kingdom Of The Mummies

National Geographic May 2020



 After the discovery of the Saqqara mummification workshop and the associated tombs in July 2018, the National Geographic TV network has accelerated the preparation of a project to produce a series of four documentary films about it. I had the honor to be part of the team. Where I radiated mummies inside a beer 30 meters underground. With a lot of challenges as well as a CT scan of the discovered pots. 

Over the course of sixty days, National Geographic cameras followed us to convey a realistic picture of the excavation work: How do we plan and deal with the discovery before, during and after its completion, how do we document it and collect data, how do the branches of the natural and human sciences collaborate to analyze this data to arrive at a coherent and explaining knowledge of the Egyptian civilization, with what technologies we use In our search for knowledge, and other things that can be pursued in these four documentaries. 

The documentary was translated to 43 languages and showed globally in 142 countries.
