[spanishspy]

I have family in Racine, and so I visited the place several times. I've seen this mummy in the local museum.

Could be a interesting article to read, whether it not be for this:

  I would suspect some 19thC or early 20thC 'explorer' or collector bought it while in Egypt before there were strict controls on such things and possibly having passed through assorted hands it was given to that museum.
