El presente estudio tiene como objetivo investigar los daños causados por el incendio del Museo Nacional en los restos humanos de cuatro individuos adultos momificados de la colección egipcia, del Tercer Período Intermedio y del período Romano. Para ello, se identificaron los elementos óseos y se analizaron las transformaciones inducidas por el calor, como fracturas, deformaciones morfológicas y coloración ósea. Los resultados indicaron que los individuos momificados se encontraban en diferentes estados de conservación. Estos resultados contribuyen a la comprensión de las transformaciones óseas inducidas por el calor en individuos momificados, a la dinámica del fuego en la sala de exposiciones egipcias del Museo Nacional y a la preservación de este patrimonio histórico-cultural.
