Egypt
The fine people at the Manchester Museum have covered their mummies out of respect apparently.
I certainly agree with the repatriation of human remains that are not on display but that does not mean hiding them that means reburial.
The mummies on display that are now covered have now lost their educational value and if Manchester does not want them to be seen than perhaps it is time for Asru and here companions to be returned to Egypt an reburied.
