Disclose the Secret of Alligator Mummies in Ancient Egypt

According to the reports from the website of National Geographic Magazine, a group of pictures concerning about ancient Egypt and crocodile mummy have been published by the website of [National Geographic News" of America. Go With ed hardy clothes on Boxing Day Through CT scans, researchers found out over 30 corpses of baby crocodile and a fishhook which was possibly made up of brass, in the interior of the crocodile mummy. 1. Crocodile mummy mask. The new CT shows the secrets of the Ancient Egyptian crocodile mummies of a history of 2000 years. The CT shows that it is a real crocodile behind the mask. In April, the Stanford school of medicine in California of America scanned two lacoste mummies, the mummy was featured about eight feet in length (2.4 meters), was colored the linen parcel and worn a mask which is one of the mummies.How I Use Evernote to Organize Everything (25)

Two crocodile mummies are still kept in Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology in Berkeley, California. The administrator, Ellison Lewis, in museum said that the scan showed that at least two Nile crocodile bones mixed together including two skulls, a scapula and a femur. The two mummies are bought by philanthropist Phoebe Hearst in the end of the 19th century from Egypt. But their provenance remains a secret. Recently, researchers repaired the two mummies and started to study them. In last week`s museum`s exhibition held in Phoebe Hurst museum which the theme is: conservator's art, preserving Egypt`s past, the two mummies are opened to the publics. It has been common for ancient Egyptians to make animal corpses into mummies. According to the presentation given by the Anthropologic Museum, thousands of crocodile corpses have been buried into huge tombs as sacrificial offerings devoted to Sobek (the god of crocodile) after tackled with antiseptic treatment by ancient Egyptians.

2. Crocodile ballast? The crocodile mummy in Hearst Museum was filled with a trace of mystery and wrapped in full body of adult crocodiles together with cub crocodiles. When this crocodile mummy was bought in 1899, the initial wrapping materials had already disappeared. Scientists were eager to find the secret inside the body of the crocodile. Jane Williams, the deputy keeper of the museum, said the results of CT showed there are some strange white things (at the right and bottom). They may be some stones which were wallowed by crocodiles and as the sandbag to keep balance in the water. Lewis pointed that CT was a kind of non-intrusive research way, and could take on the inside situation of the mummy in detail. The third one is the baby crocodile mummy. The adult crocodile mummy has the length of 5.5 feet (about 1.7 meters), on its back there "riding" with more than 30 pups with a crocodile mummy. Nile crocodile experts said the young mummies staying in their parents is a more common way of moving.

According to the blog of Hearst Museum, the corpse of crocodile babies have been firstly covered by linen, taking advantage of cohesive [mummy balsam" to stick to the adult crocodiles. It is the Egyptian embalmers who initially used balsam to perform antiseptic treatment on corpses. The ointments applied in the crocodile`s body are the conifer resin, beeswax and fat mixture, and just the same of the production of human mummies. This finding is clearly rejected the point of view of "lower cost of production animal mummies, the process even more so-so". But this tar-like matter will degradation as time goes by. Some crocodile babies finally fell off the back after long years. So Lewis and Williams use another bond to adhere the babies back to the grown-up crocodile.

The fourth point is the 3D picture of the mummy. A 3D side view showed the babies in the back. In the lab of Stanford University, researchers scanned the two mummies; one was by the bedside scanner with low resolution. The other uses a high-distinguishing scanner. The latter one can produce 3D pictures and shows more details. The blogs of Stanford Medical School shows that the calcium deficiency cans only be discovered by the high-distinguishing scanner.

The fifth one is sacrifice the crocodile? Hearst museum administrator Williams said that the picture with crocodile mummies in high-resolution scans showed parts of the body before the packaging was covered with papyrus stem, playing a reinforcing role. The ancient Egyptians had totally produced two kinds of crocodile mummies; one was the sacred mummy which was regarded as the embodiment of crocodile god Sobek. The other was a sacrificial mummy and used as an offering. The crocodiles for sacrifice offerings live in the pools near temples. The visitors of the temple will donate and the confessors will sacrifice the offerings, which are the crocodile mummy, and then bury the crocodile in the name of the donator.

The sixth point is the fishhook inside the crocodile. Lewis said that the unfold crocodile scanned by the low resolution still hidden many details, as showed following. In comparison, the scan gram above with high resolution got some interesting new details In the belly of crocodiles, researches found the skeletons of its prey and a fishhook. The following researches show that the fishhook is might made by Ancient Egyptian technologies. Fishhook might swallowed by the crocodiles enjoying the last meal. Williams pointed out that the fishhooks were made of bronze because they are not corroded.

"Live 2008" is undoubtedly a failure; "Live 2009" is more of a correction for an error. So far, "Live 2010" can be called the real standard. Above all, the change of interface was extremely remarkable. The modern fashion style of design was trialed firstly in PES 2008, as it was closing up to FIFA clearly in EPS 2010. It abandons the vertical menu structure and uses the background of more impact color than before. The style of music also continues the recent two editions. For the modes like Master League are not available yet, what structure the next interface will be is still unknown.

But according to the friendly match mode, it will be changed much. The presentation of the game on the formation, data, and tactical aspects is substantially similar to the predecessor, but the content of the game has changed a lot, and the expressions are more vivid. Particularly with the icon added in the tactical part ,it is more intuitive. The contents in tactics, however, changes a lot, in which total football is added, and attack on the left, right, and middle wing is abandoned. In addition,game player can regulate team members` stance distance and the press of closing down and so on. These changes can enrich the level of tactical, but for the value expression of the players. the graphic overview is cancelled, and the check way of statics is a little uncomfortable, so the old users have to adapt to it for quite a while.

In short, the demo shows us a "live 2010" the many advances in the system, the virtual elimination of some of the concerns previously. In the event of official edition, the improvement of master league mode is enough reasonable, it is believed that this work will no doubt be the best in the recent three generations.
