«Mummy: The Inside Story» is the Egyptology essay by John H. Taylor, published by British Museum Press in paperback (48 pages, in English).
The book studies the mummy of the Egyptian priest Nesperennub, around three thousand years old and never removed from its painted coffin. Using computed tomography and computer graphics, Taylor explains the virtual opening of the body: examination of the skull, bones, organs and amulets among the bandages reveals his age, appearance and diseases.

A read for those interested in ancient Egypt, archaeology and the application of technology to historical study.
