Podcast: A Greek Mummy
August 28, 2008
"A Greek Mummy," a new episode of "One The Phone: Archaeorama interview podcast series", is available on the iTunes Store and on this blog.
Archaeorama's friend Dan Kirsch joined me in this production as I interviewed Dr. Frank Rühli, head of the Swiss Mummy Project at the University of Zurich and one of the world's top mummy experts.
In this podcast, we talk about the first real piece of evidence of embalming in ancient Greece. Dating to 300 A.D., when the Romans ruled Greece, the partially mummified remains belong to a middle-aged woman who led a privileged life.
