  Imagine being a pharoah, spending your afterlife chilling in Duat, nobody has been sent here for thousands of years... then a chicken shows up.

  the thought of thousands of years in the future, an archeologist finding this chicken mummy and studying it and not having any clue gives me joy

  I would like to take a moment to announce that whoever made the mock-Ikea instructions for assembling a mummy is my favorite person today.

  Of course you didn&apos;t get haunted by any ancient curses, this mummy chicken is contemporary so you&apos;d be haunted by a modern curse, maybe even a postmodern one.

  I like to imagine that Osiris has been bored as hell since mummification stopped, then thousands of years later a chicken shows up with all the spells to pass his test

  man, those Egyptians who are chilling in the afterlife are going to be really confused when a random, singular chicken appears for the first time in thousands of years

  When I was in 7th grade, only about 12 years old, I did a school project on mummies and ancient Egypt. By having my Mom and I &quot;mummify&quot; a ken doll. We dyed guaze with tea, mixed cinnamon and cloves with tacky glue, painted, and then wrapped the body. The best part of it all was my Dad as well made a sarcophagus out of styrofoam. We called him Kenhotep, and I got the best grade out of my class. <br><br>I still have him. I&apos;m nearly thirty.

  Because they made a mummy successfully, used proper translations (if they could), made everything themselves, and did everything as authentically as possible, I am pretty sure that these three are, by all accounts, some of the foremost experts on Egyptian mummification. If they wrote a paper on it, it would be taken very seriously

  Imagine, it’s the year 3023, you find a house over 1000 years old, and inside is a preserved mummified chicken, nearly identical to ancient egypts methods, only issue is it’s been even longer since ancient Egypt, and also you’re in Canada

  I can&apos;t help but feel happy for the chicken. I can definitely see why this would be a nice way to honor your loved ones after they die, regardless of the religious associations
