Join us for an exclusive chance to hear how the FBI and MFA collaborated to crack a 4,000-year-old “cold case” to discover the true identity of the mummy head of Djehutynakht using state-of-the-art DNA analysis. Learn about challenges of extracting DNA from Egyptian mummies, and the potential further application of this research to archeology and Egyptology.
Event details, including date and time, are subject to change. A formal invitation will be sent to members via Paperless Post.
