Abstract:
This text recounts the eventful life of Ankh-Hap, a Ptolemaic-era mummy seized in the nineteenth century from infamous mummy-pits of Egypt. In piecing together Ankh-Hap's story, including details of his life in Egypt and the journey his mummy took to and through America, A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits provides a fascinating glimpse into a dark chapter of mummy history.
