A Modern-day Replica of an Egyptian Mummy

Egyptian mummies gained a steady place in popular culture during the era of silent horror movies. The theme was re-established in the late 90s with a help of several large-scale Hollywood productions. The undying interest from the public means that the niche of replica items is booming. It is now easy to own a model coffin and a mummy without actually disturbing the dead. Click on the picture to find out more about this Tutankhamun coffin.
