Ancient Egyptian mummies have gripped the popular imagination from early times. Mummies have been regarded as immortals, a source of medicine, terrifying monsters, and objects of curiosity. Now they are regarded as an invaluable source of information about technology, ancient diet, and cultural means of dealing with death. Join us as Dr. Salima Ikram, Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo, explores the history of mummies as well as how the Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead.
