caption_attribution_description: English: Closeup of the well-preserved mummy of an upper-class Egyptian male commonly called Usermontu, who likely lived during the New Kingdom and later was reburied in an unrelated coffin. Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum (inv. no. RC 1779), San Jose (CA).
context_page_description: "Usermontu" is an ancient Egyptian mummy exhibited at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum of San Jose, California.
  The name Usermontu – which means, "Powerful is Montu" – almost certainly does not match the still-unknown name originally belonged to the mummified man. The mistake arose because long after death the mummy was placed in a coffin originally belonged to another man, a priest named Usermontu, and was still inside of it at the time of rediscovery.
  The mummy is very well preserved, and is also known for having an ancient but sophisticated prosthetic pin in its left knee.
