We've been reading the Magic Tree House Mummies in the Morning and I have found some websites that have more information on mummies.
The British Museum has a site with a lot of info on Ancient Egypt
http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/menu.html
The section on mummies shows a real unwrapped mummy and has info on mummification techniques as well as a game were you can guide the ancient Egyptian thru the underworld using spells from "The Book of The Dead".
Nova has a site were you can walk around the Sphynx and see the Great Pyramid.

If your child is interested, I'm sure you could google and find much more information.
(Let me know if you find something really cool!)
FYI - I will not be in tomorrow (Thursday) because I have training on using the smartboard.
