MUMMIES GET CT SCANS: Julia Woltjen

SUMMARY: London Egyptologists are making huge strides in their field by looking at a mummy and not having to undress its wrapping. This is made possible by the new and advanced CT scanner from a London hospital. After the scan they can look at what's underneath using the same technology used by mechanics to look at a car engine. Using the new tech they can see the bones, muscles, skin, and even the things placed with the them in their burial.

ANALYSIS: This use of technology is amazing and very smart! Hopefully we can see more into our past with this use of technology!
