What advancements have taken place in archaeology since 1922?
Dear student
In 1922, the method of investigation was invasive. They had to use chisels and hammers to break the mummy apart into pieces, so that they could get it out of the coffin and remove the jewellery. 80 years later, technology was far advanced. They used a CT machine, that worked similar to an X ray machine, but created a full three dimensional image of the mummy, without damaging it in any way. It created an image that was very clear, and captured the intricate details of the mummy's anatomy.
