He, not she, was tall, probably dark and a redhead.

The popular Egyptian mummy has returned to the Louisiana Art and Science Museum after a brief stay away from the home he’s known since 1964.

A recent slew of X-rays performed at LSU’s FACES laboratory and a computerized topography scan taken at a St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Gonzales allowed researchers, curators and forensic specialists to uncover mysteries of the 2,300-year-old mummy.

Their findings, released during a Friday news conference, coincide with a major renovation of the LASM’s Ancient Egypt gallery.
