There's mummies coming from Afghanistansaid yesterday's Horizon on the BBC. This is the story of a supposedly 2600 year old mummified Persian princess. It was put up for sale for $11 million, but turned out to be a fraud and possibly contains the remains of a woman murdered in 1996. The mummy was probably manufactured somewhere in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, well known these days....

The scariest possibility raised by the programme was the possibility of a 'mummy factory' turning out hundreds of these things. Waaaaaaaah!
