The mummy of Egyptian Pharaoh King Amenhotep I has kept its secrets under a funerary mask for nearly a century and a half since its discovery in 1881, until Egyptian archaeologists were able to recently unwrap it.
An Egyptian research team consisting of Sahar Saleem, professor of radiology at Cairo University's Faculty of Medicine, and Egyptologist and former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass managed to examine the mummy of the king, whose rule of Egypt (1525-1504 B.C.), by digitally unwrapping it using advanced computerized tomography (CT) scans.
