Hey, since we just killed you for disagreeing with the government, can we use your corpse for a kickass display?

The screaming mummy:

Most likely prince Pentawere who had to kill himself after he participated in the assassination of his father Pharaoh Ramesses III. The reason the mummy is "screaming" is because it was intentionally sloppily mummified, it was just left out to dry before they poured resin down his mouth and as a result the face strained into a "scream". To top it off he was wrapped in sheepskin which was considered ritually impure in ancient Egypt.

Because the ancient egyptian mummies were wrapped in bandages.

Kind of a brutal own more than they could have ever dreamed of.

2000 years later

"whats up with that guy?"

"Oh that guy was an rear end in a top hat"

He probably looking at another hundred years of getting owned too.

Teriyaki Hairpiece: Dec 29, 2006; I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.

Ancient Egyptians didn't just mummify cats, they loved them so much. A certain fellow named Prince Thutmose had a cat named "Ta-Miut", loosely translated as "Princess Meow-Meow", and buried her in a beautifully carved tomb.

Words spoken by Osiris, Ta-Miaut
I bristle before the Sky, and its parts that are upon (it).
I myself am placed among the imperishable ones that are in the Sky,
(For) I am Ta-Miaut, the Triumphant.

Made under the administration of the eldest son of the King, beloved by him, leader of craftsmen, the priest Thutmose.

Right side of lid:
Made under the administration of the son of the King, Overseer of the prophets of Upper and Lower Egypt, leader of craftsmen, the priest Thutmose.
