Abstract
Microbiological examination of a sarcophagus containing 
an archaeological mummy in the museum storehouse 
(Kamal Fahmy) in Al-Diyabat in Sohag bearing No. (335). 
It was found using the sensors for building a wall for the 
monastery of the Virgin Mary in Akhmim in the year 
2000, and it is in a poor state of preservation. The mummy 
is completely wrapped in linen wraps and placed inside a 
wooden coffin in the form of a human (anthropoid). The 
mummy and coffin were subjected to microbial 
examination to suggest a maintenance plan. Fungi were 
isolated from the coffin floor, wooden coils, coffin lid, 
white mortar, red colored mortar and light and dark linen 
wraps of the mummy.
