Medical Investigations
Description:
From Publishers Weekly The mummy of Ramses II, a pharaoh who reigned for 67 years and knew
Moses, was the first to take a trip outside Egypt when, in 1976, it was sent to Paris for study. French
physician and Egyptologist Bucaille here describes the interesting, intricate mummification process,
and X-ray and endoscopic examinations of Ramses conducted by a Franco-Egyptian team of medical
and dental specialists. Close analysis of this mummy and others has revealed physical traumas in life
and causes of death and, stresses Bucaille, countering criticism of the disturbance of pharaonic
mummies, contributes to the history of disease and provides new insights into biblical chronology.

From Library Journal An updated account is needed on the status of medicine and embalming
knowledge in ancient Egypt as well as new preservation and diagnostic techniques applied to the
study of mummies. But this French work is a poorly edited, frustrating pastiche. Only 56 pages
address modern medical investigations, and these are riddled with redundancy (as is the rest of the
text) and references that lead nowhere. A 33-page section deals with the medical case for
Merneptah as the Pharaoh of the Exodus, a topic better covered in the author's The Bible, the Qu'
ran, and Science (Am. Trust Pubns., 1978). A 60-page discussion treats the attempt to preserve the
mummy of Ramses II in Paris. The rest is a forum for the author to declaim the horrible state of care
of Egyptian mummies and to castigate his detractors. The French edition of this volume won a
history prize from the Academie Francaise in 1988. One wonders why; or is it just that the English
translation is atrocious. Not recommended.
