I ka hana pū ʻana me ka Faculty of Medicine o Cairo University, ua hoʻomaka ka Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) i kahi papahana ʻepekema e kālailai i ʻelua mau pēpē mummified i mālama ʻia ma ke kulanui mai ko lākou ʻike ʻia ʻana i ka hale kupapaʻu o Tutankhamun ma 1922 ma ke komohana o Luxor. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā pēpē liʻiliʻi paha kēlā o nā keiki hānau ʻōpio a ka mōʻī ʻōpio.

Ua hoʻolaha ke Kuhina Moʻomeheu ʻAigupita ʻo Farouk Hosni i ka papahana hui i nehinei. Wahi a ia, ua hana ka hui ʻepekema, i alakaʻi ʻia e Cairo Scan's Dr. Ashraf Selim a me Kauka Yehia Zakaria o ka National Research Center, i kahi CT scan i nā fetuses ʻelua a lawe i nā laʻana i mea e hoʻokō ai i nā hoʻokolohua DNA.

ʻO Kauka Zahi Hawass, ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka SCA, i ʻōlelo ʻia e ʻike ʻia ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka linage a me ka ʻohana o King Tutankhamun, ʻo ia hoʻi kona mau mākua. Hiki ke kōkua i ka hoʻokolohua DNA a me ka CT scan e hoʻomaopopo i ka makuahine o nā fetus - manaʻo ko ʻAigupita ʻo ia ka mōʻī wahine.

Loaʻa nā pēpē liʻiliʻi o ka pharaoh a me kāna wahine i kanu ʻia me Tut, kēlā me kēia i kāna pahu liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a pahu kupapaʻu paha. Ua make ka pēpē mua ma hope o ʻelima mau mahina i loko o ka ʻōpū o kona makuahine, ʻehā mau mahina ma mua o kona hānau ʻia ʻana. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe i loaʻa he mau mea hewa iā ia a make i ka wā hānau. Manaʻo nā kānaka akeakamai he keiki lākou a ka mōʻī a me kāna wahine ʻo Ankhsenamun. Inā he ʻohana no ka maʻi ʻo Marfan i ka ʻohana, he mea paha i pili i ke kumu o ka make ʻana o nā pēpē. "Manaʻo wau ua kaumaha loa ka mōʻī a me ka mōʻī wahine i ka lilo ʻana o kā lāua keiki," wahi a Hawass.

E kōkua pū nā hopena o kēia mau noiʻi e ʻike i ka mummy o ka Mōʻīwahine Nefertiti, ka wahine a ke aliʻi monotheist ʻo Akhenaten, i ʻōlelo ʻo Hawass. E kūlike me nā papahana SCA āpau e CT scan i nā mumi aliʻi a pau no ka ʻike ʻana, ua lawe ʻia nā laʻana mai nā mami wahine ʻike ʻole ʻia i loaʻa ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike ʻAigupita no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana iā DNA. E hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā hopena me kēlā me kēia, me nā mummy o ke keiki kāne ʻo Tutankhamun ke keiki kāne, i nānā ʻia ʻo CT ma 2005.

Ua pūlima pū ʻo Hawass i kahi ʻaelike alu like ʻepekema me Kauka Ahmed Sameh, ke kākāʻōlelo o ka Faculty of Medicine, Ke Kulanui ʻo Cairo, e hoʻokumu i ka lab DNA ʻelua o ʻAigupita ma ke kumu. ʻO ka mea mua ma loko o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻAigupita. ʻO ia keʻena hoʻokolohua, ua wehewehe ʻo Kauka Hawass, e hiki ai i nā ʻepekema a me nā mea noiʻi ke hoʻokō i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻepekema ma waena o nā hopena i hāʻawi ʻia mai nā labs ʻelua. E nānā ka ʻāpana forensic ma ke kumu i nā iwi i loaʻa i loko o ka hale kupapaʻu o nā mea kūkulu pyramid ma ka pā ʻo Giza, i mea e ʻike ai i nā maʻi i loaʻa iā lākou i ko lākou ola a me ko lākou mau makahiki maʻamau i ka make.

Ua piʻi aku ka Mōʻī Tut i ka noho aliʻi ma kahi o 8 mau makahiki a make pohihihi ma kahi o 1323 BC ma 17. Ua kuhi kekahi mau kānaka hulikoehana ua pepehi kanaka ʻia ʻo ia no ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi iwi i ka iwi poʻo i kahi 1968 X-ray. ʻO kona hale kupapaʻu, i ʻike ʻia ma 1922, ʻo ia ka hale kupapaʻu paʻa paʻa mua ʻole i loaʻa e nā archeologists o kēia ao. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā waiwai a Tutankhamun, me kahi makakiʻi kupaianaha e uhi ana i ke poʻo o kāna mummy, mai ka hale kupapaʻu ma ke awāwa ʻo Luxor's of the Kings e ka mea ʻehā o Pelekane, ʻo Howard Carter. Hōʻike pinepine ʻia lākou ma ka Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Cairo. Ua waiho ʻia kona mau kino kupapaʻu i ka hale kupapaʻu i kahi pahu kupapaʻu. Ua wehe hope loa nā kānaka kālaiʻike i ka pahu kupapaʻu i ka makahiki 1968, ke hōʻike ʻia kahi X-ray i kahi ʻāpana iwi i kona iwi poʻo. ʻO kēlā mea i hōʻuluʻulu manaʻo i ka hahau ʻia ʻana o ke poʻo i make ai ka mōʻī, nona ke kahuna nui a me ka luna koa i koho ʻia he aliʻi nui.

ʻAʻole maʻamau ka make ʻana ma ka hānau hānau ʻana i ka wā kahiko. ʻOiaʻiʻo ua make ka makuahine o King Tut e hānau ana iā ia. Aia nā hōʻike i KV63.

Tomb KV63 ma ke awāwa o nā mōʻī ma Luxor e moe ana ʻelima mau mika mai ka hale kupapaʻu o ke keiki kāne ʻo Tutankhamun. Ua wehe ʻo Kauka Otto Shaden o ka nuʻukia Memphis University i ka sarcophagus hope loa o ʻehiku i ʻike ʻia ma ia wahi. Manaʻo ʻo Hawass ʻo ka sarcophagus ka hale kupapaʻu o ka makuahine o Tutankhamun ʻo Kiya i make i ka hānau ʻana o ke keiki kāne.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

The forensic section at the faculty will analyze the bones found inside the pyramid builders' cemetery on the Giza plateau, in order to learn of the diseases that they suffered during their lifetimes and their average ages at death.
In collaboration with the Cairo University ‘s Faculty of Medicine, the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) began a scientific project to analyze two mummified fetuses which have been kept in the university since their discovery in Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 on Luxor's west bank.
Tomb KV63 in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor lies five meters away from the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun.
