Researchers recreate what mummy's voice would have sounded like.
I am not convinced that's what they sounded like.

Etc...
The Anglo Saxon hurdy-gurdy hits are surprisingly beautiful. I expected to hate them.

That reminds me of the Inca mummy left behind in a railway luggage office early last century, when the law was that a coroner had to investigate all dead bodies no matter how old. The verdict was that the deceased had met his or her death so long ago that the cause could not be determined.

Why's it tied up? Do they know something we don't?

Zahi Hawass has stated that scientific teams have recently been conducting hi-tech scans and surveys inside the Great Pyramid and that, from their work, he believes Khufu's burial chamber is still intact and yet to be revealed.

'Screaming Woman': Egyptian mummy's pained expression may have been caused by rare event
The ancient Egyptian mummy's expression of agony has puzzled scientists for decades, but researchers have put forward a new theory.
Spoiler:
New analysis by scientists suggests she died "screaming from agony" around 3,000 years ago.
The experts say she may then have experienced a rare event known as a cadaveric spasm at the moment of death, causing her muscles to stiffen and immortalise her suffering.
The condition causes the muscles to freeze in the exact position the person was in when they died.
