This ancient mummy's secrets had remained hidden for 3,500 years, but modern technology recently let researchers peek inside without disturbing it at all. How researchers in Egypt used computerized tomography (CT) scans to "digitally unwrap" the mummy of Pharaoh Amenhotep I is especially significant because the mummy was one of the few found in the last few centuries not yet opened. The mummy of Amenhotep I, who ruled from about 1525 to 1504 BCE, had been X-rayed in 1932 but had not been unwrapped due to its "perfect wrapping" and decorations of flower garlands and "exquisite face mask," topped with a painted cobra, researchers write in the peer-reviewed research journal Frontiers in Medicine. They sought to use computerized tomography because it is more accurate than X-rays and can create 3-D images of bones and organs.
