What appears to be an Egyptian mummy, discovered by a 10-year-old boy in northern Germany in his grandmother's attic, is to be examined to determine if it is the actual remains of an ancient Egyptian relic. Alexander Kettler lives in Diepholz with his family and found the mummy in a sarcophagus nearby what may be replicas of a death mask and a canopic jar, which ancient Egyptians used to retain human organs. His father Lutz Wolfgang is a dentist whose late father undertook a journey to North Africa around 60 years ago, at a time when genuine mummies were still bought and sold. He maintains that the attic mummy must have been sitting in the attic for at least 40 years. The Kettlers told the Bild newspaper they plan to drive the mummy, which does not have an unpleasant odor they say, to Berlin where it can be properly examined by local experts. Kettler said: "It's only the question if it's real or not. Yes, and so we have to do more examinations to find it out."
