Wow; truth being far stranger than fiction! Such a lack of disrespect for the dead too, shameful. Great article, like the rest of the blog it seems really well researched and informative, no supposition; fab!

Awesome and interesting article. I had some idea of the use of mummies as medicine but what I have just readed ( and enjoyed) is far more than I could have expected. Congrats!

Hi Carol, many thanks for reading. The range of dubious uses mummies have been put to is incredible – from ‘medicine’ to paint to tourist attractions to party pieces. Perhaps it does show an enduring fascination with Ancient Egypt over the centuries.

What a fascinating article – I was aware of mummy unwrapping parties but not the mummies being put to many dubious uses. It is really creepy to think of famous paintings being created with ‘mummy brown’. I really enjoyed but then I’ve always had a morbid fascination with Egypt and it’s afterlife.
