BACKGROUND: Although atherosclerosis is usually thought of as a disease of modernity, the Horus Team has previously reported atherosclerotic vascular calcifications on computed tomographic (CT) scans in ancient Egyptians. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare patterns and demographic characteristics of this disease among Egyptians from ancient and modern eras. METHODS: We compared the presence and extent of vascular calcifications from whole-body CT scans performed on 178 modern Egyptians from Cairo undergoing positron emission tomography (PET)/CT for cancer staging to CT scans of 76 Egyptian mummies (3100 bce to 364 ce). RESULTS: The mean age of the modern Egyptian group was 52.3 +/- 15 years (range 14 to 84) versus estimated age at death of ancient Egyptian mummies 36.5 +/- 13 years (range 4 to 60); p
