Join Marie Vandenbeusch, Emma Phillips, and others in the British Museum as they embark on an exciting new research project aimed at better understanding the meaning and the evolution of animal mummification in ancient Egypt. We'll show you how we scan the mummies using X-rays in the museum, revealing what's inside these animal mummies, how we transport and CT scan them at a hospital, and then Marie and Emma breakdown the scan results, and explain how they add to our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian embalming practice.
