Child Mumy at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum (San Jose, California)

.

Medical Modeling LLC has teamed up with researchers at Stanford University Hospital (Palo Alto, CA), Stanford-NASA Biocomputation Center (Palo Alto, CA)and Silicon Graphics (Mountain View, CA) to find out more about a mummy with an unknown past. The mummy, belonging to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium in San Jose, Calif., is believed to be that of a four to six year old child who lived around the time of Christ. Researchers have spent the last several months working on unraveling key details about the child mummy named Sherit, an ancient Egyptian name that means “little one”, a name given to the mummy by the museum’s curators.

On May 6th 2005 the mummy, long owned by the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum
and Planetarium, traveled to Stanford University Hospital to be imaged using
computed tomography (CT) and other non-invasive medical imaging techniques.
Researchers at Stanford took over 60,000 images of the mummy in one day, what
is believed to be the largest series of scans ever performed on a mummy. Since
then researchers at Silicon Graphics have been working to unravel some of the
unknowns surrounding this mummy, still wrapped after 2000 years.
