I worked building the Pharaoh’s pyramid for 40 years and I never missed a day of work or even showed up late. Was I bitten by scorpions? All the time. Would I have been whipped if I didn’t go work on the pyramid anyway? Of course I would.
These kids are just soft.
Pug you really come through with some of the best shit on Lemmy.
I’m just the humble delivery-boy for the memes of wittier and harder-working folks, but thank you all the same!
Had to check if this was the onion. Did they mummify just anybody? I thought they was reserved for rich people.
According to wikipedia:
The third and least expensive method the embalmers offered was to clear the intestines with an unnamed liquid, injected as an enema. The body was then placed in natron for seventy days and returned to the family. Herodotus gives no further details.
This fool takin’ time off work to watch his dead mom get an enema with an unnamed liquid?
Somebody needs to drive her there I assume
Really laughing for the first time today thanks.
Rinse 'em out, give 'em back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Poorer folk would get less elaborate versions of the same process, essentially.
So, the pinewood box version of mummification?
They used terracotta coffins, which is basically the cardboard coffin compared to a natural stone one.
Yes. And the pinewood box version of a pyramid. Mid range was a tiny pyramid. Low end was a ditch covered with a rock and a pile of sand.
Idk. I’m not an archeologist.
Maybe the “workers” in this case are actually the Pharaoh’s ministers who don’t want to come to court.
Those are explanations, not excuses!
They’re excuses according to the boss.
That’s legitimately an amazing artifact!
And all the same dude too
