Reading Rainbow
Mummies Made in Egypt
MUMMIES MADE IN EGYPT, written and illustrated by Aliki is the "Reading Rainbow" book of the day. Levar Burton goes to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts which houses the largest mummy collection in the U.S. The show also turns to Kalamazoo, Michigan where they try to examine the mummy corpse and reconstruct the face, by examining x-rays of the skull. The likeness of the mummified person is recreated with styrofoam, plastic and clay. This way archeologists have an idea of what the person looked like 2500 years ago.
