What did a dinosaur sound like? How would a Neandertal vocalize? Scientists have
long used fossil evidence, DNA analyses and computer models in attempts to break the
silence of the distant past. Now 3-D printing and body-scanning technology have lent a little
bit of voice to a relatively young artifact: the more than 3,000-year-old mummy of an
ancient Egyptian named Nesyamun, The results were published Thursdayin Scientific
Reports.
For centuries, researchers have studied how the shapes formed by the human vocal
tract-which runs from the larynx, or voice box, to the mouth and nasal cavity-affect the
sounds that emerge from it. In recent decades, medical scanning technologies such as
magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography have allowed scientists to examine
living human vocal tracts at work speaking, singing or even beatboxing. Such scans have also
