The exhibition has gained much popularity due to its unique scientific techniques used in the exploration of the fine arts. A team composed of physicians, museum curators, conservators, Egyptologists, and scientists has learned more about the lives of the mummies. The main focus was on how the mummies lived, died to how they went through preparations for eternity.

One of the significant scholars to run more studies on the museum is Rebecca Fahriq, a member of the medical school at Stanford University. Among others, she conducted computed tomography scans of the mummies revealing very much unknown secrets. The exhibition further includes information about the Irethorrou lifestyle.
