Momias egipcias vuelven a ser exhibidas

Thanks to the EEF newsletter for the above article, which I had missed: "Ya son varias las momias egipcias que han vuelto a su lugar en el Museo de El Cairo, en el Salón N° 56. Estaban amenazadas por la inexorable descomposición, razón por la cual no se permitía visitarlas desde 1980. Pero gracias a la labor de un reconocido científico, Nasry Iskander, esos tesoros arqueológicos pueden ser exhibidos nuevamente."
Rough translation: A number of ancient Egyptian mummies have returned to their home in room number 56 of the Cairo Museum. They had been under threat from inexorable decomposition, which is why they have not been available to visitors since 1980. But thanks to a renowned scientist, Nasry Iskander, these archaeological treasures can once again be exhibited.
