00:00Scientists have revealed what the voice of a mummified Egyptian priest who lived 3,000 years ago would have sounded like by 3D printing his vocal tract.
00:14No way.
00:15Yeah, the team were able...
00:16I had three testicles.
00:18I'm sorry.
00:19That's him. Did you hear it?
00:20I had three testicles.
00:22Deep within the heart of the pyramids.
00:24That must have been Amenhotep.
00:26I had three testicles.
00:28That's why he was revered.
00:30The ball god.
00:32I had three testicles.
00:343,000 years ago, Gary was...
00:36I had three testicles.
00:38Oh, my God. Okay.
00:39Your leader.
00:41The team were able to accurately reproduce a single sound, which...
00:45Well, it's kind of like that.
00:46Is it?
00:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47I have Marissa.
00:48Marissa isolated it, and it says here it's like a long, exasperated meh without the M.
00:58All right, you want to hear it?
00:59Yeah.
00:59Actually?
01:00Yes.
01:01Here we go.
01:01That's it.
01:02That's it?
01:02Yeah.
01:03Hang on.
01:05Hey, man.
01:07I have three testicles.
01:08The sound that you hear is the sound...
01:11I have three testicles!
01:13...of his vocal tract in the position that he is lying in in the sarcophagus.
01:17Okay.
01:18That's when he got his diagnosis pressed.
01:20It doesn't look good.
01:22Did they create, like, a legit, like, un...
01:26Pharaoh, it does not look good.
01:34He's, like, shrugging his shoulders.
01:36What are you going to do?
01:40So, you want the good news or the bad news?
01:42The good news is we're going to remember you forever.
01:45The bad news, you'll be dead by this afternoon.
01:47What were you going to say, Chris?
01:55Um, so, did they use this same technology to recreate somebody else's, a living person's
02:02vocal cords so that they could, you know...
02:04Test it for accuracy.
02:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:05That's a good point.
02:06They've already reproduced the vocal tracts of living people.
02:09Okay.
02:09The, the, the lead, um, researcher...
02:13They, they, they used Wendy Williams.
02:15Oh, my God!
02:20Did you hear what they've done over there in a chat?
02:23Oh, they just play her doing it.
02:28This is amazing.
02:29Again, to your point, Casey, we need a, a baseline to judge the accuracy of it.
02:35So, if they're saying that they were able to get within the...
02:38Oh, I thought you meant, like, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, like a baseline to
02:42go along with it.
02:43Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, sorry.
02:44Thanks for coming.
02:46Uh, Howard is also hoping to conduct a second stage of research on, uh, Nez Yaman's vocal
02:53tract.
02:53It's time for the dead Egyptian jazz lounge.
02:57Eh.
02:59I can't repeat it.
03:00I can't.
03:01Ah!
03:01Eh.
03:03Eh.
03:04Eh.
03:05I can't quite get it.
03:10Eh.
03:10There we go.
03:10I had three testicles.
03:12Eh.
03:13Eh.
03:15Eh.
03:16I had three testicles.
03:18Eh.
03:18Oh, last night.
03:20Okay.
03:21That was...
03:22Uh, but, um, it could result...
03:25Give it to me, mommy.
03:26Nee.
03:29Hey.
03:44Woo.
03:44Y Com преступ alcoholic vibe.
03:47Sorry.
03:47Whatever.
03:48Just my kid.
03:48Eh.
03:48Uh huh.
03:49I'm not too bad.
03:49I'm not too bad.
03:49I'm not too bad.
03:50You're not too bad.
03:52You're not.
03:52Okay.
03:53You're not too bad.
