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

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

They…they had an actual knapped obsidian knife at hand. Just…casually dropped that in there and skipped onto the necklace.
This is insanely detailed! What amazing work for a funny, educational, intriguing, and beautiful video.

"i can't believe they did this for 700 years before they realized it was bad"

they DIDNT! they RAN OUT

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

@cryofsolace4840 2 years ago

The idea that in order to get the proper recipe for your incense you'll have to actually physically go to Egypt and read the hieroglyphs yourself is amazing. What a fulfilling project.

@coreytaylor5386 2 years ago

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

2:07 As an anthropologist/archaeologist, this makes me so incredibly happy. Thank you. The accuracy makes me tear up, I wish I could have been there.

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.

This channel is purely uncontrollable hyperfocus. And I am all for it!

Osiris: "Finally, after decades! I welcome thee, mortal, to the afterlife-"
Hen-Nefer: "Cluck?"
Osiris: Confused noises

25:03 this is absolutely the laugh of a man who just had a chicken mummy perfectly fit his handmade chicken sarcophagus perfectly, first try

"To our health!" drinks mummy embalming juice

Can you imagine Anubis, bored as hell in the afterlife because barely any mummies are being prepared anymore and then suddenly a chicken appears at your doorstep with full burial rites.

Of course you didn't get haunted by any ancient curses, this mummy chicken is contemporary so you'd be haunted by a modern curse, maybe even a postmodern one.

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 "mummify" 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.

I still have him. I'm nearly thirty.

THIS IS SICK, I was expecting half-assed “we salted it and let it sit” but GODDAMN this was amazing!

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
