Mummified "male priest" actually a pregnant woman

Given that they think she may be older than the dating suggested by the sarcophagus, I suspect she has somehow ended up in the wrong coffin.

Perhaps the priest faked his own death by finding a different mummy to bury, while he skipped off to live in Rome with the contents of the temple treasury?

I suspect the mummy traders.  That's a nice sarcophagus but the value could have been reduced if the mummy had been wrecked by looters.  So replace it with a new mummy it better nick to create one premium product.
