A warrior's bones are connected to the Rosetta Stone message
Archaeologists studying the bones of an Egyptian soldier killed more than two thousand years ago say it is highly likely these are the remains of someone who participated in the civil war during the reign of Ptolemy V, which was fought from 206 to 186 BC. This is the very same war mentioned in the Rosetta Stone message, the landmark find that helped archaeologists translate several ancient languages.

Scientists recreate mummy's voice with 3D-printed vocal tract
Researchers used 3D scans of a 3000-year-old ancient Egyptian mummy, of a priest named Nesyamun who served under Pharaoh Ramses XI, to produce 3D prints of the mummy's vocal tracts, allowing them to recreate the voice of the ancient priest. The vocal tract organ has allowed scientists to investigate vowel sounds and inflections in the ancient Egyptian language.
