Talking Pyramids

Quite a few readers ‘tuned in’ this morning (or yesterday, depending on your location) to watch the live re-wrapping of the Mummy with the Brooklyn Museum. As with last year’s unwrapping of the same anonymous man those of us who were able to follow the live stream of photos, videos and commentary felt like we were actually there, like a fly on the wall.

Stay tuned for part II, as the re-wrapping continues live on Thursday at 9:30am EST.
