The Mummy Returns

A little while back we made an Objectivity video about a mummy called Tahemaa, which is being conserved at the Bournemouth Natural Science Society & Museum.

Well Tahemaa is back - and this time we got to open the coffin.

Like many people, I’ve had a lifelong fascination with Egyptology and the notion of discovering ancient tombs and mummies.

Making this kind of video is likely as close as I’ll ever get.

Thanks to the society and conservator Bethany Palumbo for making it possible.

You can help the society with the Tahemaa preservation project at this link.
