So everyone's curious as to what's inside a mummy, so it was a standard practice to actually unwrap. We have several mummies in our collection that are unwrapped, but it's rare that there's mummies that are not unwrapped so that's why Demetrios is important.\"\u003cbr/\u003e7.

And then after his name is a number, and the number is 89 so we've always assumed, ever since the mummy was discovered in 1911 we've always assumed that meant he was 89 years old. Even though the mummy portrait shows a man who's much younger than 89, he's at the end of middle age, let's say. And then when we CT scanned the mummy, the radiologist told us this couldn't possibly be a man, this is not the skeleton of a man whose 89 years old.\"\u003cbr/\u003e22.

Wide shot exterior of Brooklyn Museum\u003cbr/\u003eConservationists are using medical CT scans to analyse Egyptian mummies.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Brooklyn Museum in New York is one of the first museums in the U.S. to start using the hi-tech equipment to probe inside its entire mummy collection.\u003cbr/\u003eThey say it's a less invasive way of finding out what's underneath the shrouds. \u003cbr/\u003eC-T scans are generally considered to be an important tool in preventative medical screenings or disease diagnosis.  But now they're being used to unearth the secrets of  Egyptian mummies.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Brooklyn Museum's collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts includes five human mummies and nearly fifty animal mummies including cats, crocodiles and birds.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Head Objects Conservator at the Brooklyn Museum, Lisa Bruno, says Demetrios, the museum's red shroud mummy, is one of a few mummies of his kind that has never been unwrapped.\u003cbr/\u003eShe explains that in the 19th century conservationists traditionally unwrapped mummies because they did not have the technology  to examine beneath the shroud without doing so. \u003cbr/\u003eDemetrios was excavated from a Roman cemetery in Hawara, Egypt in 1911, and is believed to date between 30 B.C. and 395 A.D.\u003cbr/\u003eBruno says she doesn't recommend unwrapping mummies to see what's inside. She considers modern scientific technology the best way to gather information on these first century humans.\u003cbr/\u003eConservationists at the museum started scanning in late July. Curator of Egyptian Art at the Brooklyn Museum, Edward Bleiberg says their mummy, Demetrios, is unique because people know exactly where he came from.\u003cbr/\u003eBleiberg adds that C-T scanning Demetrios allowed curators to see how old he was when he died by the condition of his bones. \u003cbr/\u003eThe new techniques have allowed researchers to uncover vital information about the  paint used on Demetrios' shroud. It is believed it came from Spain, which reveals evidence of  how well connected Egypt was to other parts of the world. \u003cbr/\u003eResearchers are also scanning animal mummies for the first time.  For the ancient Eyptians, animals symbolised different deities. They would place them in tombs as offerings for the Gods.\u003cbr/\u003eBleiberg says that being able to glimpse inside a mummy without having to unwrap it makes him curious to see more, but  preservation is paramount.\u003cbr/\u003eDemetrios and other mummies will form part of the three year long \"To Live Forever\" exhibition that will travel to multiple destinations across the US next summer. \u003cbr/\u003eClients are reminded: \u003cbr/\u003e(i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be
