Coronary vessels princess Ahmose-mummy-Amon Meryet Egyptian who lived 1550-1580 BCE (BCE), the whole body visualized using computed tomography scan. The scan showed, this daughter died at the age of 40 years.
In coronary artery daughters, two of the three of them have atherosclerosis. Chief Investigator Dr Gregory S Thomas of the University of California said, "It should be this princess received bypass surgery."
At first researchers thought that atherosclerosis could only be found in modern life but it is certainly atherosclerosis also appeared 3,500 years ago. According to Thomas, diet may be a factor.
"A diet is not a general's daughter in Egypt. As part of the royal family, she would eat fancy food (meat and the like), and foods that contain lots of salt that can cause this attack, "he concluded.
These findings will be presented at a medical conference in Amsterdam.
