Science Museum of Minnesota puts its mummy under the x-ray

On Friday afternoon, staff from the Science Museum of Minnesota took the museum’s mummy—the preserved remains of a man who lived in Egypt over 3,000 years ago—to the Children’s Hospital in St. Paul to undergo a CT scan. The scan yielded a three-dimensional image of the mummy’s interior; after study, the results will be made public in conjunction with the upcoming exhibit Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs.
