Ancient Lives 2

If you're still dithering over whether to lash out £10 (£5 Monday afternoons for silver surfers) on The British Museum's exhibition Ancient Lives: New Discoveries, you might like to know that the original closing date of 30 November has been extended to 19 April 2015 "by popular demand". Shown is an Ancient Egyptian Sarcophagus (c.900 BC) with an X-ray of the preserved body inside. Her name was Tamut, a high-ranking priest’s daughter, Lady of the House, Chantress of Amun (CLICK).
