The paper examines epistemological problems behind a recent study claiming to provide a synthesis of a vocal sound from the mummified remains of a man named Nesyamun and behind racial designations in Egyptian mummy studies more generally. So far, responses in the media and academia concentrated on the ethical problems of these studies, whereas their theoretical and methodological backgrounds have been rarely addressed or mentioned only in passing. It seems that the media reaction has targeted the synthesis of a sound rather than other, equally problematic, assumptions found in Egyptian mummy studies. By focusing on the epistemological problems, it will be demonstrated that the issues of greatest concern are endemic to a general state of a considerable part of the discipline of Egyptology and its unreflective engagement with the material remains of the past, especially human remains.

像埃及人一样说话?从 Nesyamun 的木乃伊遗骸合成声音的认识论问题和木乃伊研究中的种族名称

这篇论文探讨了最近一项研究背后的认识论问题,该研究声称提供了一个名叫 Nesyamun 的人的木乃伊遗骸的声音合成,以及更普遍的埃及木乃伊研究中种族名称的背后。到目前为止,媒体和学术界的反应主要集中在这些研究的伦理问题上,而它们的理论和方法背景很少被提及或只是顺便提及。似乎媒体的反应是针对声音的合成,而不是在埃及木乃伊研究中发现的其他同样有问题的假设。通过关注认识论问题,
