Several million $ to oversee the project... Sounds dangerous -- Count me in.
It would be interesting to see this technique applied to well known mummies but there in lies the rub -- this was done because the mummy used is in the possession of the University of Chicago and I wonder if the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities would even allow this.
No doubt some "artistic license" does exert itself, but I'll wager this is pretty close to reality. Still, comparing CT-Scan derived drawings to known ancient images would be illuminating.
I wonder if the Getty Museum, or George Lucas or Bill Gates would be interested in funding such a study. Certainly they have the money and only NASA has more computer rendering power than Lucas & ILM. :wink:
