Brief Summary

This video highlights the remarkable capabilities of MRI technology, showcasing its ability to non-invasively examine the internal structures of a 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummy. The scan allowed scientists to visualise the mummy's brain, muscles, and skull without any physical intrusion, demonstrating the power and potential of MRI in archaeological research and beyond.

• MRI scans can be performed without physically opening or touching the object of study.
• MRI technology allows for the visualisation of internal structures such as the brain, muscles and skull.
• The technology was successfully used on a 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummy.

Introduction

The video opens by posing a question about scientists using MRI to scan an Egyptian mummy without opening it. It confirms that scientists were able to use MRI to examine a 2,000-year-old mummy non-invasively. The MRI scan allowed them to visualise the mummy's brain, muscles, and the inside of its skull without any cutting or touching. The video emphasises the impressive nature of this achievement.
