Mummy's Secrets Revealed by CT Scan

Polish scientists used computed tomography to examine a 2000-year-old Egyptian child mummy in Wrocław.
Cardinal Adolf Bertram brought the mummy to Wrocław in 1914.
The boy died at age 8, with his brain removed via nasal cavity during mummification.
A mysterious object on the mummy's chest may be a papyrus with his name.
Further research is needed to study the object without damaging it.
