Mummies Of Yorkshire
Although this exhibition of mummies has been on public display for decades, Egyptologist Joann Fletcher gave a talk about the Mummies of Yorkshire at the Hands on History Museum on March16th.
During the talk, Joan, 50, revealed that she believes the mummies in Yorkshire were originally from North Africa, as she said: "Human remains from York, male and female, recently demonstrated to have come from North Africa as a result of various forms of analysis carried out by Reading University.
"The bodies were also coated in a layer of preservative plaster so called gypsum plaster. It was a practice that even reached Britain.
"Majority of these gypsum plaster mummies do come from Yorkshire."
Life-size replicas of the mummies were and still are on show for the public gallery.
