I was about to say that photo looks pretty waxy, but then Wikipedia says it's a wax reproduction.

There's photos of the mummy in the wiki. Looks like a nightmare

When 2200 years old you reach, look this good you will not.

The preview pic isn't the body, that's a wax sculpture reconstruction. The actual body is in the article when you scroll down.

That face is going to give me nightmares. However to still basically have your skin after being dead for nearly 2200 years is incredible.
