PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

[“You can see before you the sarcophagus of whom we believe to be Neferhotep the First, an Egyptian pharaoh of the Thirteenth Dynasty,” she said, and gestured to a large plastic box]
This kind of threw me until I read on. D'oh!
So, the mummy may not be a pharaoh, but an EVIL BEING, buried with curses to ensure the Devourer would eat his heart! Hence why he needs no blind to take with him into the afterlife, as he'll not be using any of it.
Slifie = Onomatopaeic: the noise a shower curtain makes.
Typo in the first line "found themselves in the Charterton Museum of Science and Natural as a tall, willowy woman" - missing a "History", methinks.
Sometimes the Ancient Egyptians entombed a mummy and carved hieroglyphs indicating it was a pharoah to throw potential tomb robbers off the scent - the real pharoah would be somewhere else with all the gold etc, hopefully safe because thieves would think they'd already found the tomb elsewhere and wouldn't go looking again. So this mummy could be a red herring in that sense too... ;)
Oh Dill, I bet you really think your question is sensible and logical, don't you?!
WV: biratt. A medium-sized rodent native to the middle-east. Now virtually extinct, they would make their homes in tombs and pyramids, eating anything they could get their jaws around. The embalming fluids used by the Ancient Egyptians were unfortunately highly toxic to them, and this is believed to be a major contributing factor to their declining numbers.
At least the teacher will think that Dill just watches to many movies. If she knew the true reason behind the question she would probably run like mad out of town.

I might use that description later...that's pretty good...

Thanks!
So the mummy IS a red herring!
And yes, of course his question is logical and sensible!

True dat.
@RubberDuck:
Ammut(the devourer) eats the heart only if it out weighed the feather. Curses and such wouldn't do anything to encourage this.

Neferhotep is an interesting name choice for a pharaoh...
It would roughly translate something like "Peaceful Beauty"...
not very masculine. :P
WV: taldiali
