Housed in Perth Museum Scotland since 1936, her sarcophagus, which has long intrigued Scottish visitors, is set to become a star attraction in an upcoming exhibition.</p>
<p>The exhibition, titled, “<a href="https://perthmuseum.co.uk/inside-the-museum/watersrising/" rel="nofollow">Waters Rising[/url]”, opens on November 8. The exhibition “traces stories and objects connected to flooding from Scotland and abroad, from biblical accounts to
Ancient Egypt to North America, and more recent events closer to home.</p>
<p>Exploring the growing threat of the global climate emergency whilst examining the impact of flooding and extreme weather events on communities, businesses, and infrastructure in Perth and Kinross, the exhibition also includes photos, memories, and stories from local people”, as per the website note.</p>
<p>The connection? Well, it was the flooding of the Nile, which damaged
Takerheb’s sarcophagus.</p>
