This mummy has been in the Michael C. Carlos Museum since 1921, and for a long time people had wondered what was inside! In 1995, the Museum asked the Emory University Hospital to examine the mummy with their CT Scan machine. Their analysis revealed . . . that it was the corpse of a middle-aged man who died of natural causes. We don't know his name.
