St. Louis: The
St. Louis Art Museum exhibits
a 3,000-year-old mummy named Amen-Nestawy- Nakht and its cartonnage
coffin. According to Linda Harre, "he was originally a priest at
the temple of Karnak. The Museum produces a newspaper called the Mummy
Times that is quite informative with many pictures and
facts." Thank you, Linda.
J. Young also writes that there are two
additional mummies at the museum: Pet-Menekh, a priest from the Ptolemaic
period, and Henut-Wedjebu a priestess from the 18th Dynasty who has a
black pitch and gold coffin ("which is supposed to be a rarity
for Egyptian coffins" exhibited in the United States). Thank you,
J.
