In 2011, a spectacular find was made in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt - a well-known archaeological site, where pharaohs were buried during the New Kingdom (ca. 1500-1100 BCE). A team from the University of Basel's Kings' Valley Project discovered a tomb (KV64) containing two mummies that were buried in different time episodes (unidentified elite burial, 18th dynasty, and Nehemesbastet, 22nd dynasty).
Anthropological investigations of the mummies were performed using portable X-ray and photographic documentation.
The first burial was an adult individual with bilateral pathological changes at the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), most likely of inflammatory origin, possibly psoriatic arthritis. Investigations of the second burial revealed an intact body of a younger female individual.
2011 年，在埃及帝王谷有了一项重大发现——这是一个著名的考古遗址，古埃及新王国时期（约公元前 1500-1100 年）法老们被埋葬于此。巴塞尔大学帝王谷项目的一个团队发现了一座墓（KV64），里面有两具木乃伊，它们被埋在不同的时期（身份不明的精英墓葬，18 王朝，以及 Nehemesbastet，22 王朝）。
使用便携式 X 射线和摄影记录对木乃伊进行了人类学调查。
第一次埋葬是一位成年人，颞下颌关节（TMJ）双侧有病变，很可能是炎症性的，可能是银屑病关节炎。对第二次埋葬的调查显示，这是一位年轻女性的完整尸体。
