NY hospital test reveals mummy is a man
newsday.com
It turns out one of four ancient Egyptian mummies thought for centuries to be a woman is actually a man.
North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset examined the mummies belonging to the Brooklyn Museum on Tuesday. A CAT scan revealed that one of the mummies, named "Lady Hor," was actually a man.
Researchers conducted the scans with hopes of gaining further knowledge about their identities, cause of death, and ancient funerary practices.

Researchers hope to gain further knowledge about their identities, cause of death, and ancient funerary practices.
Egyptian art curator Dr. Edward Bleiberg says the bodies embalmed for burial by the ancient Egyptians have been packed to survive the 18-mile trip during rush hour.
The mummies range in age from more than 3,000 years old to just over 1700 years old.
Bleiberg said a 2007 hospital scan of a mummy showed the man was 30 years older than estimated and had died from an infected gallstone.
