I See Dead People…

As an Egyptologist, I’ve encountered many mummies in the field — especially while working at the Great Pyramids of Giza. There’s nothing quite like watching bones from thousands of years ago emerge from the sand — but a new exhibit is trying to replicate the sensation. Mummies: New Secrets from the Tombs, a traveling exhibit from Chicago’s Field Museum, opened this week at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibit, which features a wide sample of mummies, takes a unique look into the rituals involved in the mummification process. To learn more about this exhibit, please click here.
