Researchers, including St. Luke's Hospital cardiologist Randall Thompson, got permission to study 22 mummies at the Egyptian National Museum of Antiquities in Cairo. Many of the mummies had been priests and members of the royal household. They lived during various eras of Egypt's history, ranging from about 3,500 years ago to 2,000 years ago.
