<description><![CDATA[Egyptologists have extracted amulets from the remains of mummies in the past. But before Dr. Samuel Mérigeaud made the amulets of Seramon the subject of his doctoral thesis, no one had done so non-invasively. Embalmers interred the ancient Theban priest with multiple glass, stone, and beeswax figurines placed inside his thoracic and abdominal cavities. And though they remain there still, X-ray tomography, VGStudio MAX 1.2.1, a Mac Pro, and two Apple Cinema displays have revealed them in spectacular fashion. See for yourself.
