Technology helps museum unwrap the history behind its mummies

The video explores the work of researchers at Chicago's Field Museum, who are using CT scans to study ancient Egyptian mummies. The project aims to shift the narrative from seeing mummies as spooky to understanding them as real people with lives and stories. The scans have revealed new insights into individuals like Lady Chanetta and Harwa, highlighting their roles and statuses in ancient society. The research not only provides a deeper understanding of the past but also encourages the public to respect and remember these individuals as part of human history.

What insights do the scans provide about the social status of individuals like Harwa?

In what ways do the researchers hope to change the public's perception of mummified individuals?
