mummies

Another example of that would be the mummies in Egypt that lasted >4k years in a hot, dry place.

Basically, it was a study of 137 different mummies from four different geographic locations spanning 4,000 years.

Reading the article they mentioned what surely has to be the oddest medicine ever: powdered mummies.

This is of interest especially when considering that hundreds of Egyptian mummies and more than 10,000 dinosaur bones were evaluated.

So much of modern tech is developed by slightly pathetic men wanting their mummies to come back and run their lives.

Part of why the Fayum mummies are so startling (to me at least) is that they aren't as damaged as other ancient art.

At even the most expensive plan (of 15$/mo) only 50 'mummies' a month.

I don't see what atherosclerosis in mummies from post-neolithic cultures has to do with the paleo diet.

Most or all of the mummies studied were from neolithic societies, not paleolithic.

Look at it from another perspective: it is a tourist attraction, that may bring some money to Moscow, just like mummies in the British museum.

Ground up mummies also made a popular paint colour: Mummy Brown.

The last one is a photo of the catacomb mummies.

That would make the biggest plan short on "mummies" by a couple of orders of magnitude, at least.

Or worse, for centuries mummies were ground into powder for “medicine” or pigments, during the Egyptology craze hundred of mummies were unwrapped and destroyed for the idle curiosity and entertainment of aristocrats, and tens of thousands of cat mummies are attested being used as fertiliser.

The 137 mummies studied are from "Individuals from ancient Egypt, ancient Peru, the Ancestral Puebloans of southwest America, and the Unangan of the Aleutian Islands were imaged." Of those we have 3 agricultural civilizations (Egytp, Peru, Pueblo) and one hunter gatherer (Aleutian).

These are the same people as the famous tartan-wearing Tarim Mummies.
