A team of experts, including Egyptologist Dr. Joann Fletcher and forensic archaeologist Duncan Lees, embarks on a scientific investigation to uncover the identity and cause of death of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy housed in the Bolton Museum. Through advanced forensic techniques, including CT scans and chemical analysis, the team peels back the layers of history to reveal the life of a high-status individual, potentially a royal, whose physical deformities and unique burial practices offer a window into the complex political and religious landscape of ancient Egypt.
