Mystery of the Egyptian Mummy by Joyce Filer

Hornedjitef's mummy, buried with expensive amulets and jewellery inside two elaborate decorated coffins, has been intensively studied and modern, non-destructive methods such as CT-scanning have revealed a great deal about his age, his health when he was alive, and how he was mummified. Author Joyce Filer is one of the experts who have spent years unravelling the mysteries of Hornedjitef and other mummies, and she has a first-hand knowledge of his story.
