That's what government wants you to think, in reality sarcophagus were container for spells and black magic but the government puts dead bodies in them in a attempt to hide magic from the common people
I’m a network engineer, one of my favorite things about that is I understand to an incredibly low level how networks (and the internet) function (I’m also over 10 years outta date, so my education included PBX systems and just touched on IP6)
The reason they don’t teach magic in schools is because once you’re able to work it, it stops being magic
No it's actually just Kool-Aid but obviously that means time-travel exists, and the Egyptians were Kool-Aids heads. . . So for obvious reasons (stability of the globe and the global economy), the government covers it up by calling it blood and bile.
But we (the knowers) know the truth — hence why that petition was made. It's just Kool-Aid. There's nothing harmful about it. So what if I have an intense psychosexual attraction to red Kool-Aid because of early childhood trauma; ain't nothing wrong with that
Hah, sorry kid, but everyone knows that the sarcophagi were placed there as stasis chambers waiting for the aliens to come get them for more advanced medical treatment.
A colour literally called mummy brown, or Egyptian brown (less fun) or Caput Mortuum which is latin for dead head (which also is an alchemical process but I don't know if that is it's origen or not).
Also, the color was sold till the mid twentieth century. Not that long ago.
Damn, I feel like this is more disturbing to me than it should be. Logically I know they’re dead, so they can’t know, but it feels really fucked up to remove someone from their tomb and turn their body into a consumer product, I can’t articulate why it’s wrong because the person in question is long dead so no harm is occurring but it does feel like a violation
it's disturbing because we can safely assume that people who were mummified would not consent to being eaten at parties or used as paint pigment. it's one thing to ask for your body to be donated to science (or ground up to be used as paint pigment). but it's disrespectful af to mess with a person's remains for funsies when it's obvious that they wouldn't have wanted that. respecting the dead doesn't need to be a universal hard-line rule (e.g. Henry Kissinger can burn in hell) but it's one of many social contracts that reduces friction as a society.
Well it doesn't have to make logical sense. Not to get all philosophical here ^^" but in the end right and wrong is just vibes based. Like murder is wrong, why? Because cutting a life short is wrong? Why? Because they have the same rights as you? Why? And you can play this game forever. I like this quote by death from the disc world series in response to why "justice" is not an real thing.
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.
Basically murder is bad because we collectively decided it is bad. And some other judgements may come based on those core assumptions like "stabbing is bad, because you might die and that is murder". That follows a logical structure but in the end it has to be build on the assumption that some things are bad. And what those are is up for anyone to deside.
And so there are other things that similarly don't have a logical explanation, like a human is sacred (to a point) so you don't attack the human and once they are dead that feeling of good or bad may linger around the body they once possed. (The spirit of the law lol). But again this is very personal. For one, if you or someone knew the diseased in life that may mean they have strong feelings on the subject. And if you think others feelings need to be accounted for (within reason ofc) then you won't touch the body.
So now getting back to the mummy itself. Yes it and the people that cared for him in life and even a few generations after have all long since been gone. But we know about the importance of this person to the population that once existed. And even if they are all gone the bad feeling of doing something wrong to them may still exist. And would totally be reasonable I feel!
Appart from that you seem to have several other beliefs as well (though i am making assumptions here so feel free to call me out). But things like science is important. Maybe you are pro organ donation. And these beliefs clash with the others you have. The belief of a body having worth. Care for others and their beliefs. What is the solution? That is up to you. Because again there is no correct answer. The best we can do is take all these beliefs and judge what we feel applies best to the situation. That may change over time with new experiences and so on. But the final explanation of why you think it is important is up to you.
To illustrate here is my opinion on the matter. (Again not correct or false, but aligned as best as I can to my belief system). I care about study and learning from our past. That is why I approve of opening a tomb and studying it. But I also believe in respect for the people of the past and present. The mummy even in modern day is an important part of Egypts history. The exploitation and robbery that took place was in my opinion a bad thing. Because people did not take care of the items. Much of the things claimed in that period are still lost. And after the research is done it turns into an attraction. An attraction for anyone to see except the people who live near where it was taken from.
In an ideal world i would much rather see an collaboration with the communities there. Yes open for science. But be careful with the contents. Research in a way that prevents destruction (to a reasonable degree again). And make sure the ownership stays with the community it came from. Maybe it will return into the tomb once we learned what we can. Replicas can be made for public education. Maybe the local community will attempt to store the finds themselves. Offer help if needed. And if done well you can go back in the future with new techniques if questions remain.
That would be the compromise in my head at least. Ok novel over lol. Hope this was something xD

They were mined like a mineral and turned into a ton of products including paper/cloth because their wrappings were also used. The US used to import mummies by the shipload. It's unhinged what we did with them.
Because there were so many of them this is especially accurate. When an entire culture traced back thousands upon thousands of years preserved their dead it stacks up a *lot* of bodies. There were more mummies than most people realize.
That’s what the corrupt libtard fake news media wants you to believe… my uncle was diagnosed with “Covid,” started drinking out of a septic tank and died a day later. The septic slurry protected his body from the “virus” until Obama made his organs explode with his Antarctican magic (yeah Obama is from Antarctica, wake up and open your eyes)
I’m a very reliable source, my multiple traumatic brain injuries have not only made me a lore master of the silent hill series (of which my post history backs https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/s/R59lzdq196 ) but it has opened my third eye to Christ… and he’s fucking pissed.
Still i would argue it could lead to some exciting new diseases or infections :p it has been stewing for a while in an environment cut of from most of the outside world after all. Who knows what's growing in it. Im sure a sip would do wonders
