  • Title: MUMAB: A Conversation With the Past.
    Author: Wade AD, Beckett RG, Conlogue GJ, Gonzalez R, Wade R, Brier B.
    Journal: Anat Rec (Hoboken); 2015 Jun; 298(6):954-73. PubMed ID: 25755117.
    Abstract:
    In May of 1994, Drs. Bob Brier and Ronn Wade produced the first modern mummy embalmed in the ancient Egyptian tradition. MUMAB (Mummy, University of Maryland At Baltimore) has been studied over the intervening 18 years as part of the Mummy Replication Project, including high-resolution computed tomography scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and histological examination. The radiological study of MUMAB is combined here with the firsthand discussion of the processes that resulted in the mummy's radiographic appearance. This allows for a close examination of the assumptions made in the radiological study of ancient Egyptian mummified human remains in a way not possible for the ancient remains themselves.
