Doesn't say anything about eating mummies. It's rotten, it would have said something. Your teacher is a douche.

he was the dude who won the mole, the TV show. Mark lambrecht.

the egyptians treated the dead very well and had alot of respect for the dead. They def didnt do shit like that. Egyptians mummified their pets sometimes.

He was talking about within recent times (recent being like a few hundred years ago...) with grave robbers and shit like that I think.

A long time ago, in the renaissance, this was a myth of the time. Another fun fact, mummies were used as fuel for steam engines when trains were introduced to egypt, because they were more abundant than wood or coal.

What do you think they make Viagra out of stupid?

Actually, it was something analogous to a "jenkem" rumor. Wealthy people of the time bought into it, some indeed took the powdered remains as medicine.

1.] Yes, in the past couple of hundred years there was a huge market in mummies due to people thinking it was an aphrodisiac.

In fact, the demand way outran the supply, which caused some unscrupulous people to come up with fake mummies - they mummified freshly dead people to sell as ancient mummies.

2.] This is so not the forum for this question.

3.] This is not a forum where we allow playing with img's.

If I catch people doing it again they will have a time out [read: Ban].
