MIAMI: The US Customs authorities have cleared a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy after three days of investigation at Miami International Airport.
The mummy has now been kept at the private warehouse of a museum. Museum Director Lew Crampton said that the mummy was reclining in air-conditioned comfort and was very ‘happy’, adding that the mummy would now head to the South Florida Science Centre and Aquarium in West Palm Beach, where she will be part of the wildly popular “Afterlife: Tombs and Treasures of Ancient Egypt” exhibit, which begins Oct 11.
On the other hand the inner story is different as according to an official it wasn’t the mummy, which was not being cleared but some pieces of ivory that were boxed up with it on the flight to Miami.
