For 150 years, an Australian university thought the coffin in its display case was empty.
[...] So for many decades it sat in the Nicholson Museum's education room, overshadowed by more famous coffins, never holding pride of place.
But a group of experts recently removed the coffin's lid and changed all of that.
Inside were the remains of a mummy, a noblewoman identified by the ghosted hieroglyphs on the coffin lid as Mer-Neith-it-es.
Academics believe she was a high priestess in 600BC, and that she worked in the Temple of Sekhmet, the lion-headed goddess.

So it was a junk coffin, of left over pieces and parts, floor sweepings, etc? "She worked in the Temple of Sekhmet", apparently not a well liked task master, and shoveled into the shit bin when her time came, and being only 30, it seems her time came sooner than she expected. Maybe even a murder victim?
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

You, yourself, frojack, would be lucky to have such an end. Perhaps dumpsters with be looked at as sarcophogai in the future?
