Technology helps scientists understand how the dead once lived
Web edition : 12:39 pm
One afternoon, Ron Beckett, a professor at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., left his lab, taking some research home with him. The university labs were being remodeled, and security was a question. Carefully assisting his elderly passenger into the back seat, Beckett buckled her in for safety. As the two traveled to Beckett?s home, the passenger sat very still and didn?t make conversation ? because she?s a 1,000-year-old Peruvian mummy!
Mummies are alive with information, and scientists like Beckett are helping to unlock what these time travelers have to say. Cutting-edge technology such as CT, or CAT, scans and endoscopes are allowing scientists to see not just what?s underneath the wrappings but also what?s inside a mummy?s body.
