Egypt
This article and video are on the Egyptian collection owned by the well known Egyptologist Dr. Bob Brier who is also known as Mr. Mummy. Dr. Brier's collection includes thousands of books, and artifacts including a mummy arm which appeared to me to be Ptolemaic or perhaps Roman period.
Dr. Brier is certainly a very interesting character and the video which accompanies the article says it all!
Paul Boughton over at Egyptology News Network has posted some related videos of Dr. Brier
