Researchers used 21st-century computed tomography (CT) scans to unwrap a 2,300-year-old mummy to avoid damaging the well-preserved remains of a 14-year-old boy. Dubbed "golden boy," the mummy was found in a Late Ptolemaic cemetery in Southern Egypt, and had been stored at the Cairo Egyptian since 1916. It's the first time scientists examined it. According to the study published in the journal Frontiers, a gold tongue amulet was put inside the boy's mouth so that he could "speak in the afterlife."
