Remember the Pa-Ib (pronounced pie-eeeb) mummy -- also known as "Ipy's mummy" -- on which researchers used 64-slice CT imaging to uncover its secrets? It now has its own documentary.
Produced by the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT, the 30-minute documentary, titled "Uncovering the Secrets of an Egyptian Mummy and Coffin: The Quest to Restore Personhood," gives an in-depth look at the mummy's history.
The Barnum Museum has released a documentary on the history of a mummy on which researchers used CT imaging.

The museum said these scans provided the necessary data for facial reconstruction.
The documentary can be found on the Barnum Museum's YouTube page.
