Scientists from America's leading laboratory have scanned an Egyptian mummy, modern X-ray, which was not opened since excavations a century ago.
This is the first method to scan Mommy using such high-level synchrotron x-ray.
Its purpose is to prepare a three-dimensional analysis of a body detail and find other objects that are hidden below the clothes wrapped around Mum.
This is not a regular mommy. Because the body is not only protected. There is a child's picture.
The mummy at Norfolk University in Chicago is believed to be the body of a five-year-old girl who died 1,900 years ago.
'Mummy's pictures'
The girl's body is not just processed. Her face is drawn and placed on top of her tightly wrapped cloth.
This is one of the 100 moms with images.
This unusual photograph shows how the pamphlet was then. And with this scanning project, trying to reveal the life and death of the princes without disturbing the clothes wrapped around the girl's body.
Professor Mark Walden of Research at Materials at McCormick School of Engineering in Northwest said: "It was very emotional when I realized how much this young child was when she was dying."
Mommy
He says that diseases like malaria or measles are the cause of death.
In 1911, the Mimi was excavated in Egypt by archaeologist Sir William Flanders Petri. The next year was brought to a college in Chicago.
The mummy was placed at the exhibitions since then. But, unlike other open moods, it was kept.
But researchers have begun to see what's inside this year.
Mommy was taken to a hospital in Chicago for the first child CD scan.Then last week, Mommy was brought to the Arkansas National Laboratory. First analyzed by synchronan x-ray.
Medical researchers think that bone tissue and teeth should be investigated. There is a question about what is inside the skull, as the brain is taken as part of the body's preservation.
There are signs of rope around the head and leg.
"From the medical perspective, we are interested in the bone quality. Has the bones changed over time? We have started collecting information on how to compare modern bones with ancient bones, "said Professor Stuart Stock of Northwestern University's medical education.
"We want to know what items are there. It can tell us some of the processes for making and stabilizing Mommy, "he says.
They are also aware of the baby below this history.
"Half of the children in that age did not live beyond the age of 10," said Professor Doug Terbstra, assistant professor of the University of Northwestern University.
Nowadays this younger, ancient civilization is studied by modern technology.
