Abstract

The theme of my poster was the story of digitization and 3D visualization of ancient Egyptian mummies from the Hrdlička Museum of Man, part of the Faculty of Science, Charles University. This project is embodied in an extensive and elaborated research in charge of National Museum - Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures which follows the previous tradition of an anthropological examination of the ancient Egyptian mummified material in the Czech Republic (primarily the X-ray examination of the entire mummified material on the territory of the former Czechoslovakia in 1970s).

The interdisciplinary project would not be possible without a collaboration between archaeology, anthropology and other natural sciences (especially those which are using computer applications as CT scan for example).
