Question

List the advances in technology that have improved forensic analysis.

Answer 1

Hint: Tutankhamun, the last heir of Egypt's legendary Pharaoh Dynasty, and his gold-gilded tomb are the subject of A.R. Williams' Discovering Tut - The Saga Continues. Tutankhamun's death at the age of seventeen, after ruling for nine years, remains a mystery to this day.

Complete answer:
Tutankhamun was buried and forgotten for centuries until Howard Carter, an archaeologist, found his tomb in 1922. The mummy of Tutankhamun was taken for a CT scan in January 2005, 80 years after Howard Carter discovered the tomb. This was done in order to piece together the puzzle of his death by forensic and medical techniques. Tut was one of the first mummies to be scanned to discover the mystery of his death.

Technology advancements have aided in the improvement of forensic analysis. To discover the reasons for crime, a variety of scientific tests can be used. X-ray, ultrasound, C.T. scan, post mortem, autopsy, and biopsy are among them. All of these aid in diagnosis and offer precise data.

The x-ray was invented, followed by the CT scanner, which allowed for diagnostic imaging. It uses ancient remnants to create a three-dimensional virtual body that reveals portions of the body that have been preserved for thousands of years.

Note: Hundreds of X-rays are created in cross-section, similar to slices, in a CT scan. They construct a virtual body that is three-dimensional and has intricate architecture. This advancement in forensic analysis has aided in the discovery of Egyptian mummy mysteries.
