Expert assistance from Egypt is finally on its way to conserve an Egyptian mummy dating back to 2,500 BC at a museum in Hyderabad. The mummy, believed to be of Nasihu, daughter of sixth Pharaoh of Egypt, is on display at the Andhra Pradesh State Archaeological Museum since 1930 but is now decaying. A two-member team from the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), Egypt, will visit Hyderabad for conservation of the mummy. The department of archaeology and museum of Andhra Pradesh has long been seeking foreign assistance to restore the mummy, one of the six in Indian museums and the only one in South India.
