The mummified body of 2-year-old Edith Howard Cook, who died on Oct. 13, 1876 – six weeks shy of her third birthday. Cause of death: Marasmus (severe malnutrition)
She was found during the remodel of a San Francisco home garage in 2016. The area where the home was built was known to have been part of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, which accepted burials from 1865 until around 1902.
Most of the bodies in the cemetery were exhumed and transferred to Greenlawn in the early 1930s, but Edith was left behind for unknown reasons.
The casket was made of metal, 37 inches long, with two viewing windows in the lid. It was tightly sealed, which helped preserve the girl’s remains.

Well, this is exciting. It is Hawass saying it, the lord of hyperbole, but still, it's a great find, even if it doesn't turn out to be the oldest mummified person found in Egypt.

Rooster skull with its comb. The skull was beetle cleaned, degreased, and whitened with peroxide. The sclerotic rings were glued in place. The comb was formalin fixed and dried, then glued in place. A super cool specimen done for a good friend ❤️

the most accidentally hilarious moment in NATM 3 is as the tablet is dying and Larry is cradling Dexter while the audience has this clear view of Ahkmenrah, a teenager who was murdered thousands of years ago, is very, very, slowly collapsing to the floor as his body reverts to a decayed mummified corpse. And nobody acknowledges it.
#I’m actually not joking it is funny like I can’t help but laugh#it’s such a perfect shot it’s like a meme.#Ahks like “don’t mind me I’ll just slowly decay into mummified remains”#At least carry Dex over there dude 😭#The thing that interests me is the others are wax. They just freeze and that’s that#But Ahkmenrah was an actual guy; died was mummified comes back to life nightly#Something I think about a lot is that Ahk would have to put the wrappings he was buried in back on every night before sunrise#Because it would cause a shit storm if someone opened up his sarcophagus during the day and he DIDNT have them on. and that is hilarious#They’re like his pajamas guys. Suns gonna rise soon time to put on something cozy. And I love that for hi#One can assume he’s taken them off and putting them back on every night he’s woken up in the past 4000 years which does actually make sense#Since you know he turns into back into an ancient corpse which are not known to be sturdy. Probably better to have all that#Natm#night at the museum#natm ahkmenrah#ahkmenrah#Larry Daley#natm Dexter

Rose shifting through the artifacts in Jade’s house like “Okay. So we’re going to call the federal government. And figure out how to get these returned to their respective origin countries.” Jade is all sad, Rose is patting her back like “I know this is your tether to your grandpa but he should not have gotten his hands on these in the first place.”
#Rose lalonde#jade harley#grandpa harley#The fucking mummies#Bye thats someones great great great great great great great great x10000 aunt or something#And their mummified body is shacking it up in jade’s house#Her dog is chewing away at the bones for fun#Rose is like girly pop i know youre really attached to this random stranger’s remains#Because it reminds you of your grandpa#but he procured these artifacts through shady and illegal ways

I really do want to know what happens when a person dies but they genuinely have no relatives or friends to deal with everything...
#like i know the government will do a paupers burial or maybe cremation but like ??#who cancels the bank accounts who cleans out the house if there is one#who sorts out all the taxes and payments that are still lingering#makes me wonder#like yeah probably theres government entities for that but its still interesting#guess thats how they find remains fully mummified in homes years after the fact sometimes tho

The mummified corpse of Rosalia Lombardo who died of pneumonia caused by the Spanish Flu just one week shy of her second birthday in 1920.
Her body lays inside a glass topped casket in the catacombs underneath the Capuchin convent in Palermo, Sicily. She is known globally as the “world’s most beautiful mummy”. But locals of this italian city have nicknamed her the “Sleeping Beauty of Palermo.”
The story goes that Rosalia’s father, upon her death, was so stricken with grief, that he sought the aid of a renowned Sicilian professor of preservation; the embalmer and taxidermist Alfredo Salafia. It is said that her father pleaded that he make her “live forever.” And so he did.
Rosalia’s body is so immaculately preserved, that even decades later her organs are still intact. Furthermore, due to the fact that her eyes aren’t fully closed; upon close inspection, her blue irises can be seen. We can thank the arid state of the catacombs in helping keep her body from decomposing but what truly caused her to be seemingly frozen in time was a previously elusive chemical formula created by Professor Salafia.
This specific embalmment fluid consisted of formalin, alcohol, salicylic acid, glycerin and zinc salts. Her body was single-point injected, without any cavity treatment or pre-drainage of bodily fluids.
Formalin, widely used by embalmers, is a mixture of formaldehyde and water which eliminates bacteria. Alcohol dried Rosalia’s body and the glycerin kept it from drying out too much. The salicylic acid prevented the growth of fungi. But it is the zinc salts that really helped retain her perfect state of preservation. Zinc, a chemical no longer used by embalmers, essentially petrified her tiny body.

My $50 yard sale freezer died today. RIP, you served me well for 5 years, through some very hot summers.
Anyone want to buy stuff to help me replace it? These things are all available, and I'll take offers. Message to inquire!

Kalashire’s name means "giant, warrior", so fittingly he is a 5'10 solider
#Cipher talk#The joke is Egyptian men in the modern day are averaging 5'7 and probably were shorter in the past#There's a study of mummified Egyptian remains that puts the male average at 5'6 which like#Fits but it only used 150 examples total so I don't think it's a sufficient dataset#Sycamores before the flood#OFC there are taller Egyptian men I'm mostly poking fun at statistics
