More re return of Mummy to Stonyhurst College, Yorks, UK
Lancashire Telegraph
A 2,500-YEAR-OLD Egyptian mummy has been returned to Stonyhurst College after more than 30 years.
The remains of the unidentified young boy, aged five or six, left the Clitheroe Catholic boarding school in the 1970s for testing at Man-chester University and the mummy was later placed in an exhibition.
Stonyhurst College has now installed special facilities to preserve the mummy and it has been allowed to return to its former home.
The mummy, which belongs to the college, at Hurst Green was discovered by a Jesuit missionary and archaeologist in 1850.
The missionary is believed to have worked at, or had links to, the traditional Jesuit school and donated the mummy on its discovery.
It has been part of Manchester Museum’s world- famous collection of Egyptian artefacts and, over the last 30 years, a series of forensic science investigat-ions, including scans and X-rays, have been carried out to learn more about the boy’s health and living conditions.
