405.1 Some doctors operated on the mummy of an Egyptian woman who had died in 800 BC. They wanted to find out whether she had died of a rare disease. After removing a section, they sent it to a laboratory. During the operation they unexpectedly found a figure made of wax. Though the doctors were afraid that it would fall to pieces, the mummy "survived" the operation.

Some doctors operated on the mummy of an Egyptian woman who had died in 800 BC in order to find out if she had died of a rare disease. They removed a section, which was sent to a laboratory. Inside the mummy they unexpectedly found a figure made of wax. The doctors were afraid that it would fall to pieces, but the mummy "survived" the operation.
