A Look Inside A Mummy


Radiologists Use CT Scan To Diagnose Ancient Causes Of Death

SEE VIDEO

In this video (click on the picture above), scientists use the CT-SCAN technique to actually 'look inside' the mummy. The non-invasive 3D imaging technique helps them determine the age and cause of it's death , without having to destroy the ancient artifact. They notice a fallen tooth at the bottom of the child's (mummy's) skull, which anthropologists say, is a clue to it's age. Had it been natural, the child would have probably  died at the age of eight. But after that, they delve even deeper.See the video for more interesting info.
