Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

King Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled from 1332 B.C. to 1332 B.C. His nearly intact tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. Tutankhamun was probably the product of an incestuous relationship. This has led to much speculation concerning an inheritable genetic disorder being the cause of the young kingʼs death. However, evidence points to malaria as being a more likely cause. Malaria is a potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease which is caused by a parasite. Illness and death from malaria can usually be prevented by the intervention of modern medicine.
