Who’s Your Mummy? UNM
Graduate Students Know
Two University of New
Mexico graduate students are being seen worldwide as they travel to exotic
destinations for “Mummy
Autopsy,” a new Discovery Channel television series that started
December 7. The show's creators say their aim is to “put flesh on
the bones” and to recreate the lives of the long dead.
James Murrell and Ken Nystrom are part of a five-member team of mummy investigators who travel across continents to conduct research on mummies, some of which have lain forgotten for centuries. The 13-part, one-hour series tracks mummy experts as they investigate ancient findings.
