Organizers of the "Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibition, in partnership with internationally acclaimed pop artist Romero Britto, invite school children worldwide to participate in the construction of a pyramid nearly 45 feet tall to commemorate Tutankhamen's return to London for the first time in 35 years. The pyramid assembly project will take place on July 5 [2007] at The O2, the host venue for the Tutankhamen exhibition.

InnoVida's revolutionary construction material will be used for the building of Romero Britto's Pyramids which will be exhibited in London and later transported to Egypt. "We are delighted that our products and technology will be used in such an important cultural and artistic project," said Claudio Osorio, Chairman and CEO of InnoVida Holdings.

Up to 100 school groups from across the UK, Europe, Egypt and U.S. will work alongside Britto to paint two of the four sides of the pyramid. In addition, the names of all participating children will be inscribed on the pyramid steps. The day's activities will also include a lesson on modern Egypt, complimentary lunch, T-shirts, and a photo for each participating school. The specification of the pyramid sides and angles will match those of the Pyramids of Giza, the artist's tribute to the original Ancient Wonder of the World. Once the Tutankhamen exhibition closes in London, organizers hope the pyramid will go on permanent display in Egypt...

The child mummy entombed in glass on the third floor of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has kept a secret for more than two millenniums. Today, scientists and doctors will peek at what the little mummy has been hiding.

"It is a medical mystery," said Tanya Lucio, a medical student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who is doing a research project on the mummy. "We're hoping to be able to solve it."

The mummy will undergo a computed tomography, or CT, scan at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh...

In 1986, doctors at Forbes Metropolitan Health Centre in Wilkinsburg took X-rays of the mummy and found it had a large head but a small body. The wrist bones indicate the toddler-sized mummy was about 8 years old when the child died, but doctors couldn't determine the cause of death or the mummy's gender from the bones.

The mummy appears to have a form of macrocephaly...
