Question
I know that this may be like my previous question BUT i didn't get a very clear answer so I'll ask again:

I was wondering how was King Ramses II mummy found? As in did they find him in his coffin and/or other sarcophaguses? If they did, do you know any websites where I can find pictures of his coffins and sarcophaguses and a description of them as well as how they were put together and how many there were? Also did King Ramses II have a deathmask with him at the time he was found. I'm just doing a little model of his mummy and need to know about his coffins and sarcophaguses and stuff. Thanks,

Anja  

Answer
I'd be glad to know which of the questions I didn't answer, since the deathmask and coffin / sarcophagus doesn't exist any more, and no descriptions are left about them. Thanks.
