    From what I can gather, he and his mother travelled to Paris, where she was greeted with with full military honours as she had been a king. Her passport (and his?) was issued as all persons, living or dead, entering France needed a passport.

    Following on from Andy's answer, the Mummy of Ramses the second was given a passport because it had to be flown to Paris for treatment in a lab there.

    Yes, RamsesII's mummy had to flown to Paris to investigate a fungus that was destroying it. 'He' was issued with a passport that showed his occupation as 'King, deceased'

    Kinda what I put? The mummy was met with full military honours. The passport was required as all persons, living or dead, had to have a passport.

    You confused me tbh - by saying he flew with his mother & it was her passport. Plus you didn't really say why.

    I'm a tough quizmaster..
