Henry Sheldon's Egyptian child mummy finally had a decent burial 3,800 years after he was dead. His 1950 tombstone was gone by 2023, and replaced with a much less interesting one set flat into the ground.

The original gravestone is gone, but it has been replaced with a new gravestone set into the ground.

[Gabe, 10/12/2024]

The person inside the mummy died over 3,800 years before he was given an American tombstone -- which only lasted 73 years before it was replaced by the current flat-on-the-ground version.

We went to the grave site today and the tombstone is no longer there. It appears to have been cut out. Unknown as to whether it will be replaced.
