Computerised tomography (CT) scans revealed the boy was equipped with 49 amulets of 21 different types - many made of gold - which had been carefully placed on or inside the body. 

The mummified remains are said to be those of a boy, estimated to have been 14 or 15 years old when he died around 2,300 years ago. 

By leveraging CT technologies, scientists were able to 'digitally unwrap' the body and make 3D-models of the amulets found inside without physically disturbing the remains.

The teen, nicknamed 'golden boy' has allowed researchers to unveil some of the ritual practices that Ancient Egyptians used in the belief that they would ensure their loved ones could safely reach the afterlife.
