Yo just checking in to confirm that this thread is legit, and it is. I admire the brave scientists who keep company with all these mummies in the name of learning, though every day they court being cursed, as mummies are known to do when displeased. Oh also a quick PSA:  mummies roolzombies drooleat it zombies Waroduce posted:skeletons are better op naw

This mummybro looks like he'd have been rad as hell to hang out with when not so mummy maybe he's even more fun when he's a mummy, drinking a ram's horn of mead and like it goes through him and he just mummy laughs

Since we stopped sacrificing people into the bog wages have gone down, small business ownership has gone down, deaths from disease have gone up, and climate change has started taking effect. Coincidence?

Looks like his ancestors don't have to worry about male pattern baldness  Sure there's some cool art, but it makes you think.. 2,500 years ago, were we really so different?

This isn't about people, but stuff, sorry. In 365 CE, a huge earthquake struck the Eastern Mediterranean, and one of the many buildings that was damaged was a Temple to Isis in one of Corinth's port cities, Kenchreai. Somebody shipped a bunch of stuff to start repairing it. Unfortunately, in 375 another earthquake hit and the coastline shifted to put the temple underwater.  But it also buried the stuff being used to repair it from the first earthquake. Which sank into the mud, which kept the oxygen out and preserved everything, even wooden objects, for the next 1600 years (excavated in the 60s). This means that we have about 100 panels made of glass mosaic which were actually still in their wooden packing crates:  But even better, wooden objects like 4th-century doors:  and even 4th-century pulleys:

We haven't even touched on mummies that were buried in walls and buildings and then one day when some guy was remodeling his basement BAM! here's a sweet mummy bonus. I don't have time right now to look them up, but a lot of people buried dead babies in their walls back in the early 1900's and late 1800's so I can just imagine that in a decade we're gonna see all these dead bodies dropping into living rooms and bedrooms and sex dungeons.

edit: this motherfucker right here ^^^^^^ Holy poo poo dudes work's been kicking my rear end this week. Glad there's some folks willing to carry the mummy torch when I drop it. Lots of cool mummy discussion on p. 5 here, I like it! Sweet new mummy pulleys and all kinds of new poo poo! Way to go! Anyhow apparently there is some exciting new natural mummy news to share with you. The most badass mum of the thread is apparently even more badass this week - Otzi was apparently even more inked up than we knew. Articles just released say we now have 61 tattoos, mostly little dots and lines and poo poo and mostly near joints. apparently.  Also it looks like the Songinokhairkhan Sunglass Hut will be moving another pair of wayfarers. A 200 year old dessicated Mongolian mummy monk was just discovered in the lotus position out there this week.

Ok shitlords this thread hit page 5, so I think it's time to start talking about all mummies because even lovely Egyptian mummies are better than skeletons. Here's a documentary on an Egyptian mummy that knew where to score some good coke long before historians believed trade with the Americas to be taking place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izsym4bxeGA

Hyped as Egyptian mummies are, you must admit that they knew how to do it with style. All that glam, and it's no wonder they're like the A-list celebrities of the mummy culture scene, setting unrealistic burial expectations for impressionable minds everywhere.

I want a cartoon where famous mummies team up and have adventures. Tollund Man and La Doncella have an on-and-off romance, Xin Zhui is wisecracking mission control, Hartnell and Torrington are always getting into arguments, and Meenybradden is goofy comic relief. Egyptian mummies occasionally show up but end up getting styled on.

In seriousness, this one kind of pulls at the imagination because so much of the story behind her is known. Illnesses notwithstanding, there's the year of festivities and royal treatment, going around and being an icon of prosperity to the people, always moving to take the edge off your inevitable fate, and it's a constant swing between cripping stress (giving you grey hairs as a teenager) and delirious inebriation (significant traces of alcohol and other drugs found in bloodstream) and when the time finally comes it's not a dramatic, climactic moment, just a quiet walk and curl up in icy oblivion. Few anthropological finds tell a story quite like a mummy does.

puts a damper on the whole queen-like treatment before sacrifice thing. On the bright side, she was probably hosed anyway if she had a disease like that before modern medicine so she at least got to go out in a badass way.

Pretty story. But the ice mummies and cloud mummies didn't just peacefully slip into that good night. They were drugged, yes, and then hit upside the head so violently that the brain is sometimes torn from the stem. In most it's simply crushed up in the opposite side.

The afterlife is probably pretty lovely because even with your harem and a few golden chariots you're probably just going to get robbed by the dead peasants. The first emperor of china had the right idea when he had the terracotta warriors made
