From Ologies:
Linen wrapping. Expensive resins. Sarcophagi. Preserving for eternity—or until someone raids their tomb. It’s a brand-new Spooktacular episode with not one but two guests: Dr. Salima Ikram is a professor of Egyptology and expert on mummification of both people and animals and is joined by a veteran guest from the Egyptology episode, professor and author Dr. Kara Cooney. The two chat about mummification techniques, how food studies led to the pyramids, controversy over the word “mummy,” whiffing the dead, socioeconomic factors in mummification, animal mummies, lingering mysteries, fieldwork, a house mouse, and more…in Part 2 we’ll dive into more ethics of collections, human sacrifice, the people who ate mummified remains, paint colors, coffin engravings, and the meaning of “magic.”
