Three separate forensic cases open up under CT scanners and chemical analysis. A mummy misfiled in a museum collection turns out to share royal blood with Ramesses II, and the scans that prove the family link also expose how badly the body had been mixed up with someone else's remains. A chantress's mummy carries evidence of a violent death, and the team works through what her wounds and burial say about a possible political killing carried out in life and then repeated ritually in the afterlife. The third case leaves Egypt for Peru, where a thousand-year-old skull shows both deliberate cranial shaping and what looks like successful ancient brain surgery, prompting the team to test how a so-called Tobacco Shaman could have survived the procedure. Egyptologists and forensic scientists narrate each investigation as the scans run, treating the bodies as evidence rather than curiosities. The throughline is method: what modern imaging and pathology can still wring out of remains centuries after burial.
