CT scans reveal details about the mummy ’s morphology, health conditions and preservation.

Researchers used infrared imaging and other advanced techniques to “virtually dissect” the remains.

They found that the mummy was 48 years old when she died, based on analysis of a pelvis joint that changes with age.

Her mouth was embalmed with frankincense and juniper resin, an expensive substance that would have been traded from afar.

One mummy thought to be the remains of a prince known as Pentawere had his throat slit for his role in assassinating his father.

The second mummy was a woman known as Princess Meritamun who died of a heart attack.

Saleem’s analysis suggests her wide mouth was due to a contraction or movement of her jaw.
