The boy found 'mummy' in the attic

According to the BBC, Alexander Kettle, a 10-year-old German boy found a mummy in the corner of her grandmother's house.

Mummy lying inside a complete wooden casket with hieroglyphic pattern. But it is unclear whether this is just a product created by the Kettler family or a true mummy from ancient Egypt.

Alexander's father, Lutz Wolfgang Kettler, a dentist said: "He plans to bring mummies to Berlin for experts to study."

Kettler said he doubted that the coffin, as well as cloth wrapped around the mummy and a sealed vase (used for organs) used in ancient Egypt, was found only as a simulation.

However, he believed that the mummy could be real. In the 1950s, this dentist's late father traveled to North Africa.

'At that time, there was still a sale of real mummies,' Kettler told the local newspaper Die Kreiszeitung.

He also added that this "mummy" had no unpleasant smell: "It has been lying on the attic for at least 40 years."
