What's Under the Wraps?
Sanchita Balachandran is a museum curator and conservator at the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. She was asked to take care of a mummified Egyptian woman whose body was over 2,000 years old. Under the linen wraps there are sometimes special jewels called amulets and nice-selling resins made from stuff like cheese sap.
