Reminds me of the book, The Egyptian, by Mika Waltari.

I read it many years ago and remember little of it but I seem to remember the main character hid in the funeral home among the dead for a while.

Was not a fav book of mine but it was recommended to me by my father and grandfather, and was evidently very accurate. I wonder what new things they will discover and how it will compare.

”The first gilded silver mummy mask in Egypt since 1939“ Well I just hadda see THIS! Not as fantastic as I hoped for but still, something to see. A face from the past, illuminated for us in silver. https://www.realmofhistory.com/2018/07/16/mummy-silver-gilded-mask-saqqara-egypt/
