The Carnegie Museum of Natural History has also x-rayed mummies. I
believe that they have done some other testing on the mummies also but
I don't remember what all they have done. You can contact them at:
The Carnegie Museum of Natural History
4400 Forbes Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15213
ph: 412-622-3131.
I'm not sure who you would talk to but my guess would be the Curator of
Anthropology, Dr. James B. Richardson III.
I hope that helps
