I love mummies and ancient Egypt!! Just recently was in Shawnee Oklahoma and stayed at St. Gregory University. There is a museum there that was established by a philanthropist who traveled the world and collected not only artifacts but paintings and fine art as well to bring back for the people of Oklahoma, to show them ‘the rest of the world’ since so many could not travel. The items he had were WONDERFUL, not just in the various cultural items but the beautiful paintings. They even allowed me to slip into the collections room to take a peek at what they decided not to display. The collection included a mummy that actually looked MUCH better than the mummy that the Houston Museum of Natural Science has!! I was very impressed.
