Mummy Not Seen for 3,000 Years Philips' CT Technologies
Philips' CT Technologies Help University of Chicago Capture Amazing Images of Mummy Not Seen for 3,000 Years Stunning 3D images today reveal a mummy that has been sealed in a coffin for more than 3,000 years thanks to a cutting-edge medical scanner developed by Philips. The elaborately decorated coffin of the Egyptian woman, Meresamun, who was believed to be a priestess at a temple in Thebes in 800 BC, has remained intact and completely closed as curators at the University of Chicagos Oriental Museum, where she has been for more than 80 years, have been reluctant to examine her further and risk destroying the beautiful decorations.
