A Trip to the Railroad Museum of PA Part 4

Part 4 of 4. This room was awesome, full of toy trains. The 'real' trains were fenced-off because they didn't have any staff member around to supervise. Even without the 'real' train there's still a lot of exhibits to play with. The Lego town was a pleasant surprise, lots of trains and moving models, plus the people who built it have a sense of humor. In the town I found the Batmoble, Luke Skywalkers' landspeeder, Spiderman, Indiana Jones, and Dr. Who. There was also a room of those Thomas the Train wooden trains, but I didn't go in as it was full of kids. Thank you for watching.

Mysterious Mummy Taken from Peru a Century Ago Was the Body of a Teen Boy

More info at

The very first X-rays of an ancient Peruvian mummy — taken from the nation about 100 years ago by an American railway employee — just recently discovered long-hidden hints about its mysterious origins.

The mummy has actually been part of the collection at the Everhart Museum of Nature, Science and Art in Scranton, Pennsylvania, for almost a century. However really little was understood about the mummy when the museum got it in the 1920s. Over the years that followed, the mummy’s delicate condition dissuaded intrusive assessments that might have exposed hints about its origins.

Nevertheless, museum authorities lastly understand a little bit more about this interesting mummy. After X-raying it for the very first time, they found that the mummified individual was more youthful than they believed — a teen, instead of a man. And hints in its skeleton hinted that the boy might have suffered from health issues prior to his death, specialists informed Live Science. [Photos: Hundreds of Mummies Found in Peru]

The mummy’s journey from Peru to Pennsylvania was both long and weird. In 1923, a Scranton dental professional called Dr. G. E. Hill contributed the mummy to the museum; Hill had actually gotten the mummy from his daddy, who brought it from Peru when he returned house after dealing with the railways, Everhart Museum manager Francesca Saldan informed Live Science.

“Other than that, we really have no documentation about how he acquired it or where in Peru it actually came from,” Saldan stated.

According to the museum’s archives, managers at the time determined the mummy as coming from the Paracas culture — one of the earliest in South America — which grew from 800 B.C. to 100 B.C. When the museum gotten the mummy, it remained in a fetal position; conventional Paracas burial practices generally swaddle mummies in material, however this mummy wasn’t finished up. Nevertheless, a fabric imprint was pushed into one of the mummy’s knees, recommending that at one point it had a material cover that was then lost, Saldan stated.


Tricks of the bones

Calculated X-ray tomography (CT) scans are normally utilized to analyze maintained soft tissues. However the mummy had actually been kept in a big display screen case made of wood and glass given that the 1950s. The unwieldy case was too huge for a CT scanner, so the museum relied on Geisinger Radiology in Danville, Pennsylvania, to traditionally X-ray the mummy and discover what they might from its bones, Dr. Scott Sauerwine, medical director at Geisinger, informed Live Science.

X-raying the mummy wasn’t simple; its position inside the big case avoided the specialists from getting a clear view of the hips. However they had the ability to discover excellent angles of the skull and other parts of the body.

“In some of the bones, the growth plates weren’t fused, and we estimated the age to be in the late teens,” Sauerwine stated.

When the radiologists X-rayed the mummy’s feet, they kept in mind that a number of toes were missing out on. Amputations have actually been around for thousands of years, and it’s possible that the teen lost his toes to frostbite or infection, Sauerwine recommended. However, the toes might likewise have actually broken off after mummification due to misuse, he included.

Besides the missing out on toes, there were no indications of injury or recovered fractures in the body, and there was no clear indicator from the bones of what may have triggered the teen’s death. Nevertheless, the radiologists did discover irregular calcium deposits in the spinal column.

“We see spine abnormalities like this with aging — but this person was not old,” Sauerwine stated. In this specific case, the teen most likely suffered from a metabolic condition such as pseudogout (a type of arthritis) or hypoparathyroidism (lowered production of parathyroid hormonal agent).

Could those conditions have been extreme enough to trigger the teen’s death? It’s a fascinating angle to think about, however it’s difficult to state for sure, Sauerwine stated.

The mummy is now on display screen at the Everhart Museum for the very first time given that the 1990s, as part of the display “Preserved: Traditions of the Andes,” open from March 9 to April 7.

WVIA ARTIST OF THE WEEK | Samantha Glevick, West Scranton | 09-10

Samantha Glevick, West Scranton
Hello my name is Samantha Glevick and I am a senior at West Scranton High School. I am currently an aspiring artist and I enjoy pushing myself past my limits. I rank as the president of my schools art club and a member of the National Honor Society. Working with other artists that are similar to me; influences me to work harder and explore other forms of art. Over this past year I have participated in numerous community service projects involving art. Some of the projects Ive worked on are face painting activities, painting rooms, and working at an art camp hosted by Meg Duffy.
My medium choice would have to be painting. I am very dedicated to my art work and I would love to get my name out there to the art world. With this being said I am very open to constructive criticism and I consider myself a positive person. If I could sum myself up in one word it would have to be ambitious. After graduation my dream in life is to attend PRATT College and exceed all expectations that have been set out for me. In conclusion I feel as if my experiences in art at West Scranton High School have prepared me for a career as a successful working artist.
