THE Japan tour saw a mummy from Durham University’s Oriental Museum undertake the longest journey in his 2,300-year history.
The mummy, thought to be a priest aged 50 to 60 from Akhmim, has probably been in the North East since the 19th Century. X-rays have shown it has an artificial lower arm and hand. Conservators worked on the mummy to prepare him for the year-long tour of Japan.
Also taken down and packed was a 3,000-year-old Egyptian granite obelisk from the Duke of Northumberland’s collection.
