Here is an article on the CT scanning of some of the British Museum's mummies, which have remained wrapped for the last couple of centuries. The mummies include a Third intermediate period priestess and temple singer named Tamut, who died at Thebes around 900 BC.
An unknown man was revealed during the scans in the coffin of a woman. The man had bad teeth and probably suffered terribly. Amazing technology!
The mummies will be presented, among others, in Ancient Lives from May 22 -November 30, 2014, at the British Museum
