High-Tech Mummy Investigations

Investigators at Stanford University assisted by the computer imaging company Silicon Graphics Inc. have completed a new high-tech image of a 2000-year old Ptolemaic Egyptian mummy without unwrapping her first. In recent decades, removing wrappings from a mummy has fallen out of use, for practical and ethical reasons. The imaging program invented by SGI and Stanford was used on a mummy from the Egyptian Rosicrucian Museum, and appears to reveal an excellent amount of detail without endangering the mummy.
