(Northwestern University) Who is she, this little mummy girl? Northwestern University scientists and students are working to unravel some of her mysteries, including how her body was prepared 1,900 years ago in Egypt, what items she may have been buried with and what material is in her brain cavity. As part of a comprehensive investigation, the mummy traveled from Evanston to Argonne National Laboratory on Nov. 27 for an X-ray scattering experiment -- the first study of its kind performed on a human mummy.
