Title
Researchers spent over 140 hours performing CT scans on Meritamun's skull, and a 3D printer was used to produce the figure in this photo. Although Meritamun's cause of death remains unknown, it is suspected that the 18- to 25-year-old suffered from anemia, causing her to become weak and lethargic before she passed away. Researchers also found tooth decay, indicating that Meritamun may have had a sweet tooth.
