Says gilded. Is that different?
LOL!
My friend in Cairo showed me a sketch that looked like an eel, but he did not tell me the origin of the sketch. I found a reference to ancient Eyptianb tomb markings similar.
Electric catfish, Malapterurus electricus
https://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/malapterurus_electricus.htm
“This is certainly a catfish for the experienced catfish keeper as it is like no other, and when adult the electric organ is capable of generating 300-400 volts, enough to stun a full grown adult of Homo sapian!. When they are bought, usually as small juveniles, their electrical output is more of a tingle.”
“This is an old world catfish and it is reputed that Doctors in ancient Egypt used shocks from the Electric Catfish to reduce the pain of arthritis. This trait is still used today in some areas. It also has the earliest reference of them as hieroglyphics on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs dating back some 5000 years.”
Here is a reference of his comments from twitter related to this.

This is not the info he sent me that referenced electric eels. That may have been from a direct message. I looked at that, he has removed all but the most recent of those.
It does show a mummified fish that he says was an electric fish.
He is an interesting guy. Knows a lot about the Middle East.

You can get the basic mummy for 3 tons of barley, but for 4 tons, you can upgrade to our “Scorpion King” package...
My question, too. Is there a plating process other than electroplating? All the way back in the days of the Exodus, things were PLATED or OVERLAID with gold or other metals. But that was just working a layer of the metal on to a wooden or other substrate using hammers and other instruments. That was not plating as we know it.
It’ll look better after the conservators get it cleaned up.
"We call this, one 'temple of the millions of years'...
