Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 The well-preserved mummy of an old man (Upper) is displayed in an exhibition in Denmark’s National Museum. The mummy was removed, as displayed, from an excavation in 1875 at Borum Eshoj, near Aarhus, Denmark. Carpenter and colleagues used hair samples from the mummy to isolate ancient DNA and validate the technique.
