This article and video are on the Egyptian collection owned by the well-known Egyptologist Dr. Bob Brier, who is also known as Mr. Mummy. Dr. Brier's collection includes thousands of books and artifacts, including a mummy arm which appeared to me to be Ptolemaic or perhaps Roman period.
Dr. Brier is certainly a very interesting character, and the video that accompanies the article says it all!
Paul Boughton over at Egyptology News Network has posted some related videos of Dr. Brier

Hello Jean-Pierre
Dr. Brier and his work is amazing indeed!
Cheers
Mr Mummy has a fan in me. I downloaded his History of Ancient Egypt and popped it onto my MP3 player. I listen to his lectures on the way to and from work. I love his enthusiasm and passion.
I've purchased a number of books on his recommendation and believe the man to be an asset to Egyptology.
Now to look at the article. Thanks for this Tim,
Stuart
