Talking Pyramids: Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

The Brooklyn Museum returns to the lab today to re-wrap the “Anonymous Man” to prepare him for display in the Mummy Chamber exhibition.

Shelly Bernstein, the Brooklyn Museum’s Chief of Technology, is live blogging the event again on Twitter, coming to you direct from the lab. She’ll be giving us a running commentary on what the Conservators are doing as the day unfolds.

Do you have a question?

Using your own Twitter account, just send a message to @brooklynmuseum and be sure to include with your message the hashtag #mummywrap and it will end up in the conversation. The live reporting, questions and answers will all be accessible below.

This fun, behind-the-scenes look will kick off around today at 9:30 EST or 14.30 GMT.

*UPDATE: The show is over for today but will pick up again on Thursday at 9:30am EST. The conversation continues on Twitter with the #mummywrap hashtag.
