Mummy: The Inside Story

This new exhibit at the British Museum uses advanced 3-D computerized tomography along with laser scanning to virtually unwrap an unopened, 3,000-year-old mummy from the museum's collection.

Leather seals, charms and emblems pinning together various layers of the mummy's wrapping, unseen by earlier, less detailed scans, appeared immediately.

Even mistakes made by the embalmers,

such as a glue pot that dried while resting on the mummy's head and was buried that way, were visible.
