guy Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) Archaeologists have conducted initial studies on 33 tombs from the Greco-Roman period that were unearthed near Aswan, Egypt. Their research has revealed that 30-40% of the examined remains belonged to infants, children, or adolescents. The analysis of the mummies uncovered indications of "anemia, malnutrition, respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, and osteoporosis." https://www.heritagedaily.com/2024/06/greco-roman-era-tombs-found-west-of-aswan/152422 Note: There is no indication of genomic studies being done, which would likely reflect the endemic malarial infection.
