I had read the story, but hadn't seen the pictures. There are many interesting ethical questions surrounding such a display, and I certainly haven't made up my mind about it...

It's kind of strange to see a dead person on display...
but it is amazing she it still looks after so much time!

I honestly am confused whether or not the mummy should be on display
At one level I feel it may be disrespect for a dead. At another level, I notice you say that it was a sacrifice (that means she was killed as a sacrifice?). If that were so, it might be appropriate to expose that injustice so we learn from it and therefore there must be an appropriate title and explanation wherever the mummy is displayed.

Re: Interesting, but I wouldn't want to be put on display..
shelly- I was thinking that very same thing too! It feels kind of creepy-- to be that well preserved and on display, no less!
