The authors present a study performed on three Egyptian mummies, coming from the same inviolate grave belonging to the Necropolis of Gebelin. The grave bore no indications on the occupiers' identity and for that reason Schiaparelli identified it as "Tomb of the Unknown". The mummies and their funerary furniture are now exposed at the Egyptian Museum of Turin. Standard radiographies of the mummies have been taken in situ by means of a portable radiological equipment. It has also been possible to examine directly the anatomic aspect of one unbandaged skeletal mummy. The procedure was simple, reliable, not expensive and did not expose the mummies to damages due to an eventual transfer. Reliable data on the findings have been taken in that way: the three burials, one of them is likely a reburial, belong to three grown-up subjects, whose sex was male for two and probably female for the third. No bone pathology has been found. One of the cadavers seems to be dead due to a serious cranic injury, probably the effect of a heavy bladed weapon.
作者介绍了一项对三具埃及木乃伊进行的研究，这些木乃伊来自吉萨墓地中同一个未被破坏的墓穴。墓穴没有关于墓主人身份的线索，因此，斯基帕雷利将其认定为“无名墓”。这些木乃伊及其陪葬品现陈列于都灵埃及博物馆。已使用便携式放射设备在原地对木乃伊进行了标准X光摄影。还得以直接检查了一具未包裹绷带的骨骼木乃伊的解剖结构。该程序简单、可靠、成本不高，且不会因可能的转移而使木乃伊受到损坏。通过这种方式获取了有关研究结果的可靠数据：这三具墓葬，其中一具可能是二次埋葬，属于三个成年人，其中两具为男性，第三具可能为女性。未发现骨骼病理情况。其中一具尸体似乎死于严重的颅骨损伤，可能是重型利刃武器所致。
