News: Peruvian Mummy in Royal Bolton Museum

Unwrapping Secret Of Bolton Museums Mummy (from The Bolton News):

A new exhibit at the Royal Bolton Museum in Lancashire, England displays two Peruvian mummies, at least one of them reportedly from the Rimac Valley in Peru. An x-ray of the mummy revealed it was missing hands and feet, although wrapped with great care in a cloth bundle. The second mummy, 800 years old, starred in a TV show, Mummy Forensics, recently shown on the History Channel. William Smithies, a worker in the cotton mills in Peru from 1896 to 1927, donated much of the Peruvian objects on display. The exhibit runs through August 2, 2008.
