The Field Museum in Chicago has solved a 3,000-year-old mystery with the help of modern technology. Using a mobile CT scanner, researchers were able to analyze the cartonnage and contents of Lady Chenet-aa's mummy, revealing new details about her burial procedure and health at the time of death. The scan showed that Lady Chenet-aa's body was placed inside a seamless casing using lacing and seams hidden from view. The CT imaging also revealed information about Lady Chenet-aa's teeth, which were worn down due to eating food with stray grains of sand. Additionally, artificial eyes made of an unknown material were found in her eye sockets, suggesting that ancient Egyptians believed in the importance of sight in the afterlife.
