It is Maine Coon. They're definitely not an Egyptian type of cat, at least based on what I've seen of Egyptian art. Maine Coons are SUPER hairy, while Egyptian cats are sleek and slender (more like the Abyssinian).

I guess the "mancun" spelling came from someone who had heard of the Maine Coon breed but had never seen the name written down.

I don't know much about cats, but I'm certain of the Maine Coon info.
