Created by CaptainOlimar42 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:15, 6 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Funeral of a Mummy on the Nile; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough, long enough and well-written. No discernible policy violations. The image is nice and properly licensed. No QPQ needed as this is the first DYK nomination by CaptainOlimar42. The hooks are slightly problematic; there is an inline citation supporting the sentence providing the fact of ALT2, but not the other hooks. This would need to be addressed if you wish to use them. I would however strongly argue in favour of ALT2, which I think is the more intriguing. The other ones are not immediately attention-grabbing in the way a hook is meant to be, I think. If the nominator is OK with going ahead with ALT2, I could tick this as passed and strike out the other two hook alternatives. Apart from that: nice work! It is a little gem of an article.

- I have no objections against going with ALT2, I would agree that it is probably the most attention-grabbing hook, so you are welcome to cross out the other two. Thank you for the kind words (and for the review, of course)! --CaptainOlimar42 (talk) 20:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
