## Resource

Mummies are even more disturbing than you might think. This week, Chris and Ed unwrap the real history of mummification, from ancient Egyptian embalming rituals (and 70 million animal mummies), Victorian unwrapping parties, and the horrifying ways the preserved dead were used as medicine, entertainment, and spectacle. Plus: a modern “wandering mummy” whose afterlife turned out to be worse than any curse.Visit this episode’s show notes for links and references.Want even more out of SATT?
