Evaluate the article
Overall, it is well written and seems to derive most of its information from several relevant academic journals. It is a bit short, but that simply may just be because not much investigation has been put forth into this mummy compared to other well-known mummies. There are no discussions on the talk page, indicating to me that this page was probably created by a student for a class assignment. However, the overall tone and information on the article seems trustworthy.

The lead of the article ties in nicely with the article's sections. It is simple to understand, but effective in laying out and conveying what the article is about.

The content appears to be up to date: it has been edited a good amount of times this year, and the sources it draws upon are pretty recent as well. This gives the article more points towards trustworthiness.

Multiple articles and journals have been used when investigating the mummy, so the article has several identifiable viewpoints to it.

As mentioned previously, the sources appear well-reviewed academic journals and scientific articles,

Organization is put together nicely: we go from initial discovery to testing and hypothesis about the mummy.

The only image available was a map of the mountain where the mummy was found. This does provide good context for location, but perhaps an image of the mummy itself would be appropriate as well.
