Quote of the Week:
"In Victorian times, Egyptian mummies were unwrapped at public
spectacles, which was invasive and ultimately damaging to the
mummy. We are gathering information here without disturbing the
casing or cartonnage at all -- through 3D technology we can
reveal so much more than the naked eye can see."
