"No ancient Egyptians were harmed in the making of this exhibition."
(Smart, 2014)
In August, as Anniversary's gift, my husband took me to the British Museum.
We saw the "...the 2014 major exhibition Ancient lives: new discoveries." (British Museum, 2014), where you can discover eight people from ancient Egypt and Sudan whose bodies have been preserved, either naturally or by deliberate embalming.
"From a priest’s daughter to a temple doorkeeper, the interactive displays explore the identities of eight individuals, using their embalmed bodies to uncover clues about how they lived."
(Time Out London, 2014)
You can discover their lives and with non-invasive technologies, you can see inside their body.
With 3D visualization and CT Scanning you can interact with that mummies, understanding the reasons of their death or hill.
The exhibition still at the British Museum untill the end of November, thankful to the sponsor Julius Baer and the technology of Samsung you can go deep in the ancient lives.
