The video explores the use of advanced medical technologies and computing to unlock the secrets of an ancient mummy at California's Rosicrucian Museum. Scientists and experts have used high-resolution scanning and 3D modeling to virtually unwrap the mummy, revealing unprecedented details about its origins and health. The process involved using a rare Axiom Semen scanner and specialized software to create detailed images of the mummy's bones, soft tissue, and skin.
