Mysterious Mud Mummy Discovered in Egypt | Mysterious Universe

If all mummies were covered like a recently discovered one, mummy movies would probably be less scary … but perhaps a little kinky. CT scans of a mummified adult from Egypt, now in the Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney showed the body to be covered in a mud shell or carapace, a mortuary treatment not previously documented in Egypt. Would a movie with wrestling mud mummies be classified as horror … or porn? “The mummified body was acquired by Sir Charles Nicholson during his trip to Egypt in 1856–1857. Little is known about its acquisition, as is sadly the case for many human bodies procured in Egypt by European and American collectors in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The mummified body, the lidded coffin in which it rested and its mummy board originated in Western Thebes and was likely purchased in Luxor. The ensemble was donated to the University of Sydney by Nicholson in 1860.”
