Suite101

Many thanks to the ever-reliable Stan Parchin for alerting me to his latest Egyptology post (it is dated August 2007, but the article concerns a 2008-2011 traveling exhibit):

Using modern scientific methods, scholars at the Brooklyn Museum analyzed its ancient Egyptian mummies in preparation for a touring special exhibition.

From Summer 2008 through Fall 2011, New York's Brooklyn Museum will circulate to more than 10 American venues To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum, a special exhibition about ancient Egyptian art, funerary practices and religious beliefs. The nationwide tour commences on July 13, 2008 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In preparation for the show, the museum's conservation laboratory embarked upon an extensive study of the institution's five human and nearly 50 avian, feline and crocodile mummies on July 5, 2007, led by Dr. Edward Bleiberg, Curator of Egyptian, Classical and Ancient Middle Eastern Art.
