Mummy in the Attic

A ten-year-old boy in Diepholz, Germany, went up to his grandparents' attic recently and uncovered an elaborate Egyptian mummy in a clearly fake sarcophagus. X-rays of the mummy reveal a skull and bones, including an arrow in one of its eye sockets.

In a separate box was found the mummy's very interesting mask, and the bandages on the mummy are also of modern, mechanically woven material. For myself, I am comfortable that the mummy and its equipment were probably made as a play or movie prop in the last century, but is it a real mummy underneath?

Here is an article on the X-ray results on the mummy!
