		Inside, they found a 26th Dynasty tomb with "three beautiful coffins," each with a mummy, and "inside one coffin was maybe one of the best mummies ever preserved," Hawass told reporters at the excavation site in the cemetery of Saqqara, 24 kilometres south of Cairo.
		Hawass said the wooden coffins, called anthropoids because they were in the shape of human beings, bore inscriptions dating to the 26th Dynasty, together with a statue of a god called Petah Sakar.

	Golden Age Mysteries - The Three Coffins (1935)
		"Three Coffins" is one of his very best in atmosphere and presentation, but the plot doesn't hold up once you know the solution because it has some very bad logical (and logistic) flaws.
		All that business with the snow is very weakly contrived, for one thing, as is all that nonsense with the raincoats, the timing, and the competence of the police search squad.
		The Crooked Hinge (with the Golden Hag subplot) and The Three Coffins and He Who Whispers (with their two crimes) and even Green Capsule (with its many-layered mystery) give you more puzzlement for your investment of time (and money, but most importantly time).

		Poirot has three cases: The Third-Floor Flat; The Adventure of Johnnie Waverley (rather unbelievable); and Four and Twenty Blackbirds (Poirot takes an interest in others' eating habits).
