Summary

A preliminary paleopathological study of human remains from the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmosis III in Luxor reveals significant differences in skeletal stress markers between two historical periods. Individuals from the First Intermediate Period (11th Dynasty) exhibit a higher prevalence of such markers compared to those from the Late Period, suggesting distinct health or environmental conditions during these eras. The study analyzed 191 skeletons and mummies, including 154 from tombs within the temple enclosure and 37 from nearby necropolis graves, providing new insights into ancient Egyptian populations' health dynamics over time.
