This embalmed lung tissue was found in the canopic coffinette of the treasury scribe of the domain of Amun, Sutimose. Microscopic examination of a section of this tissue revealed an evidence that Sutimose had suffered from anthracosis (a build-up of carbon deposits in the lungs), calcification of tissue, and pulmonary edema. From Thebes, Egypt. Late 20th Dynasty, circa 1100 BCE. The British Museum, London.
