Mr.Mummy

I've always had this fascination for Ancient Egypt in general and their mummies in particular.
Found this superb video of Egyptologist Robert Brier's Mummy project.
After over 2000 years Briers actually mummified a human cadaver the egyptian way.
While this might not be of interest to many people, I was totally astounded and wanted to keep it here for posterity.



And for those interested YouTube has a lovely collection of BBC and National Geographic documentaries on this subject.

Okie! so where had YOU vanished?

Interesting topic tough - remember we both wanted to go to Egypt and I still have that dream...

We can see the mummies together. What say?

@RS: oh yes! Egypt is definitely still part of my life agenda.

And your company obviously is most welcome :-)
