Stanford scans 2,500-year-old mummy with a CT machine

The mummy is owned by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. He is thought to be Iret-net Hor-irw, a minor priest in the Egyptian city of Akhmim who died at a young age of unknown causes. He, and the data collected from Thursday's scan, will be the centerpiece of a new exhibition opening Oct. 31 at the Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco.
