Remote sensing and the Egyptian mummy

At Wesleyan University in Middleton, Connecticut (USA), scientists have used a CAT scanner to remote-sense a 2500 to 3000-year-old mummy (which was minding its own business while resting peacefully in their museum) and have found four mysterious objects in his abdominal cavity. The paper reported that the mummy has been at Wesleyan for over one-hundred years. The scientists would like to unravel the mystery of these objects by unwrapping the mummy and retrieving them from his abdominal tract, but the curator of the museum would not agree. Various theories have been put forwardt to explain the mysterious objects. The moral of the story is, of course, that all the speculative theories could easily be put to rest if we had available at our disposal truly reliable techniques for remote sensing. But alas, the present methods are a long way off from achieving perfection to the degree required for the job. So a call is made to the engineering community, those who write all these abstruse theoretical papers on inverse scattering, to \´get down to business\´ and solve some practical problems like the "Remote-sensing an Egyptian mummy."
