Three of the 'animal coffins' were uncovered in a sacred cache at #Naukratis, along numerous finds, including 100 other similar containers topped with lizards, snakes and eels figures, but also this lovely #Egyptian mongoose 'mummy case' #Animal #mummies

This video shows what they saw inside the lizard coffin...
