Die VERLORENE Hauptstadt: Wie das Ägyptische Reich wirklich verschwand!

An international team of climate scientists uncovers fascinating connections between distant volcanic eruptions and the sudden absence of the vital Nile floods. Sulfur particles in polar ice cores provide evidence of devastating eruptions that disrupted the global monsoon rains and plunged Ptolemaic Egypt into severe famine. Alongside this climatic instability, modern forensic science, through the facial reconstruction of the mummy Merit Amun, offers profound insights into the disease-ridden lives of the elite of that era. Simultaneously, satellite archaeology revolutionizes the search for Ichtawi, the ancient capital city buried in the desert sands, and identifies a royal workshop of fine craftsmanship. Finally, the microscopic analysis of an ancient stone fragment solves the technological puzzle surrounding the construction of the gigantic granite obelisks using the extremely hard abrasive corundum. In addition to this climatic instability, modern forensic science, through the facial reconstruction of the mummy Merit Amun, provides profound insights into the disease-ridden lives of the elite of that time.
