The Ancient Egyptians preserved for us a fantastic legacy, now it is our turn to ensure that these unique cultural treasures survive for another few millennia.
Mummies are fragile.
Removed from their desert environment they deteriorate, fall prey to insects, disintegrate and turn to dust. A regular schedule of fumigation or addition of paradicholorobenzene to the boxes will also be instituted. These sacred rams, in their magnificent coverings of gold, also require attention. This mummified monkey requires urgent conservation before it disintigrates further. Even so, it is in a remarkable state of preservation.
