Talk like an Egyptian: mummy's voice heard 3,000 years after death The “voice” of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time since he died and was mummified 3,000 years ago, researchers have said. Nesyamun lived under the pharaoh Rameses XI, who reigned around the beginning of the 11th century BC. Nesyamun’s mummy, currently in Leeds City Museum, has been the subject of much scrutiny: it was unwrapped in 1824, with subsequent work revealing that he was in his 50s when he died.
