The Mummy Congress: Science, Obsession, and the… by Heather Pringle

A quite fabulous read on anything having to do with mummies from viewing them to using them for paint. I had to set a time limit for reading the book otherwise I would have been up all night.

The Mummy Congress: Science, Obsession, and the… by Heather Pringle

Breezy and full of interesting explorations. Warrants further reading on several topics (esp DNA related) due to publication date. Not really about the Mummy Congress except as a jumping-off point, but it was entertaining if I read the info and skipped the chapterly sum-ups.
