From the exhibit: "This is the mummy of Hornedjitef, and Egyptian priest who was buried inside two different coffins. Examining his body using CAT scans and X-Rays revealed that he suffered from arthritis and osteoporosis, suggesting he was a mature man when he died. The embalmers have placed four packages inside his torso, probably his lungs, liver, stomach and intestines. He lived over a thousand years after Tutankhamen and Ramestes the Great at a time when Egypt was ruled by Greek kings."
