UNDER WRAPS: AN AUTOPSY OF THREE EGYPTIAN MUMMIES
A priest from Thebes, a temple cult-singer and a twelve year old
girl, all ancient Egyptians who died over two thousand years ago,
recently
became the focus of a fascinating study. In a long overdue autopsy,
these
mummies were placed under the scrutiny of modern science to uncover
information about their lifestyles - and what may have killed them.
The Video 'Under Wraps' follows the progress of this examination
as
archaeologists, surgeons and scientists work together at Sydney
University's Nicholson Museum to unlock secrets that have been hidden
for
centuries.
Length: 30 minutes.
Price: $29.95 (VHS - American format)
Shipping: $4.00 - U.S.A./ $5.00 - Canada/ $7.00 - Overseas,
first
video; .50 for each additional.
"Under Wraps" is a production of Astarte Resources and is
distributed exclusively in the United States and Canada by the Institute
for Mediterranean Studies.

over 10,000 years. This largely unknown history - spanning the

To shed light on their work, this video first visits the major
ancient
sites of the region before joining the archaeologists at Pella as they
use
an array of techniques to piece together the site's long and fascinating
history.
Length: 55 minutes.
