OBJECTIVE
A previous study of the computed tomography (CT) of the neck of mummified Ramesses III (1190-1070 BC) suggested that an assailant slit the Pharaoh's throat with a knife in the plot known as Harem conspiracy. We hypothesized the presence of other injuries in the Pharaoh's body as a result of this fatal attack.
METHODS
We analyzed CT images of mummified Ramesses III and reported any finding suggestive of trauma in correlation with archeologic literature.
RESULTS
Computed tomographic images show partially amputated left big toe. The bony edges are sharp without signs of attempted healing. The ancient embalmers replaced the missing toe with a linen-made prosthesis and placed 6 metallic amulets (eye of Horus) at the feet region.
CONCLUSIONS
The Pharaoh's left big toe was likely chopped perimortem by an assailant using a heavy sharp instrument as an ax. This additional injury supports the plot and gives more information about the death scene.
目的
先前一项针对拉美西斯三世（公元前1190 - 1070年）木乃伊颈部的计算机断层扫描（CT）研究表明，在那场被称为后宫阴谋的事件中，一名袭击者用刀割开了法老的喉咙。我们推测，此次致命袭击导致法老身体还有其他损伤。
方法
我们分析了拉美西斯三世木乃伊的CT图像，并结合考古文献报告任何提示创伤的发现。
结果
计算机断层扫描图像显示左大脚趾部分被截断。骨边缘锐利，没有试图愈合的迹象。古代防腐师用亚麻制成的假体替换了缺失的脚趾，并在脚部区域放置了6个金属护身符（荷鲁斯之眼）。
结论
法老的左大脚趾很可能是在濒死时被袭击者用类似斧头的沉重利器砍断的。这一额外损伤支持了该阴谋论，并提供了更多关于死亡场景的信息。
