Lots of water used to extinguish the fire, so I think they should hire some dehumidifiers and put them down in the vaults for a couple of weeks, to help restore the super dry / arid conditions that kept the mummies & coffins preserved for so long …..

Who decided to put shrouds on them ? Never knew this ,they were basically leather and had been set on fire before, but they survived ok ,why put shrouds on centuries old body's, was it to make the paying tourists to not feel uncomfortable ,don't do it in Egypt.
