Description
Omar Larentis and co-authors report, in a paper whose head is dated 2024, a joint study of three mummies kept at a cliffside sanctuary in Italy. The hermits' bodies date from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries and were revered locally, yet science knew little about them. Moving the bodies was impossible, so the team brought portable X-ray gear to the site.
Mobile digital X-rays let experts from many fields read cloth, past repairs, insect traces, bone traits, and disease signs in place. The approach trades the depth of a full body scanner for access where none exists. New facts about the hermits' lives and deaths emerged, bringing these figures into the scientific record for the first time.
