A new home for mummies

http://tinyurl.com/cv9hu (Egyptian State Information Service)
A new hall to display mummies will open at the Egyptian Museum in two weeks time. The eleven mummies on display were part of a cache of 40 saved by priests of Amun in the 21st Dynasty, and reburied in the Valley of the Kings. "The first hall contains the mummies of the Egyptian warrior Pharaohs from Sekhen-en-Ra to Ramses II, while the new hall will house the mummies of the high priests of Amun".
See the above page on the State Information Service for the full story.
