English term or phrase: Mummified lion found in Egyptian tomb.

This sentence refers to a lion mummy that was found last week by a French archeologist in an Egyptian tomb. I was wondering how it would be said in Hebrew? I will need to have it in a Romanized script as well.
Any help with a translation is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

mummified lion found in egyptian tomb. אריה חנוט התגלה בקבר מצרי

Explanation:
Arieh khanut hitgalah b'kever mitzri.

Mummia refers only to people.
Arieh is lion but lavi may also be used; khanut means mummified.
Hitgalah- was discovered or found; b'kever mitzri means in an Egyptian tomb.
