Ancient Egypt: Ancient Culture Modern Technology now open at the Boonshoft Museum in Dayton Ohio. This interactive exhibit features CT scans and a 3D printed skull of a female mummy named Nesiur originally excavated in 1922 at El Badari by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum presented the mummy to J. Morton Howell, American Consul General to Egypt from 1920 to 1927. Howell, originally from Dayton, Ohio donated the mummy along with his Egyptian artifact collection to the city in 1926. His collection included sculptures, funerary art, a beautiful gilded cartonnage mummy mask and Nesiur, a woman who lived during the 25th dynasty about 700 BCE.
