Does that mean that a Leaf Pile can move of its own accord onto a square
containing TWO mummies? That's my interpretation. (NOTE: Two mummies can
be
on the same square by pushing one onto another)

Yes, it means that. I'm not sure if it was right. As I think of it, it
seems to me that this rule was generated in a momentary panic when I
myself
misread the rules and pearef that a leaf pile could not recapture (it can

recapture because when a Leaf Pile engulfs things, there is nothing
on the square but the Leaf Pile itself; the Mummy is not generated until
the Leaf Pile moves on.

Now that I think of it, it seems to me that this adds too many rules and 
clarifications for too little benefit. If the presence of a Mummy or a
statue makes a crowded square safe from voluntary engulfment, doesn't
this actually add to the interest of the game?

Pending your responses, I believe I will change this back to the
original,
where, as you may recall, it was stated that the only way to mummify a 
petrified Basilisk was tu push a Leaf Pile onto it.
