In the Victorian era having tea together with the mummies was a kinda Egyptian mania in the UK. The Englishmen unpacked the mummy while spending tea-time on the spot. They worshiped everything that was linked to ancient Egypt. They believed and hoped by snipping the tea from the grained body parts of the mummy, is the route of eternal life.
Over the last few decades have had been developed an independent territory of science as a science out of curiosity in emerging mummies in many places around the Globe to engage in scientific activities in different disciplines. Also the analytical methods and the development of computer programs have opened up new opportunities for mummies. Today CT scans, with magnetic resonance imaging, provide a perfect picture of these conserved bodies; researchers can visualize the mummies’ wrists and look at the face, remove skin and gain glimpses inside the skull. DNA testing of mummies provides an opportunity to check for disease.
We also keep mummies at home so we were told. Those who have a painting inherited from their grandparents are having a mummy at their home. Paint was also made from preserved bodies. The “mummy brown” color on the painting is literally from the remnants of Egyptian mummies. This was in use from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, pigments were made, but this was banned at the beginning of the 20th century.
