Nesperennub on the move again

http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=10735
"History fans and students throughout Alabama are looking forward to meeting an unlikely but unforgettable visitor - a priest who has traveled across 6,000 miles and 3,000 years to reveal in dramatic detail how ancient Egyptians preserved and honored their dead. With "Mummy: the inside story," The British Museum’s hit exhibition that showcases the mummy of Nesperennub, an ancient Egyptian cleric, the Gulf Coast Exploreum will play host to an array of priceless artifacts and high-tech visualizations that unravel the mystery of mummification. Currently on the U.S. leg of a world tour that later will include cities in Asia, "Mummy: the inside story" recently completed its showing at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and is set to open in Mobile, Alabama on March 9, 2006 for a six-month run."
It is nice to see that Nes is still inspiring a proper welcome where-ever he travels. For full details of what the exhibition has to offer, together with the SGI virtual 3-D experience, see the above article.
