Egyptian Mummy — An Egyptian mummy displayed in Emory University's Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta. The mummy is that of a man who lived during the Old Kingdom period of Egypt, in c. 2300 BCE. The mummy was discovered by Emory theology professor William A. Shelton in 1920 CE and arrived at Emory University in 1921 CE. Conservators reattached the mummy's head, hands, and feet.
