Every year we try to do a Halloween Special. This year we are doing a special on Egyptian mummies. How mummies were made, and why mummies were important for the Egyptian afterlife.

We are raising funds for a new book project on the “Ten Plagues of Egypt.” In this book, we plan to delve into the Egyptian culture context of the plagues of the Exodus so as to discover what those plaques would have meant to the Egyptians.

Natron is a salt, so… basically mummies are pickles?! 😂
Super interesting. While I was watching I had an idea for a series you could do, maybe as shorts – you could share some of your favorite photos and tell a "behind the scenes" story or just discuss the content of the image.
Your producer? Your wife? 😏

What do you think about “Maria”, the supposed three fingered mummy with the oddly shaped head? I have a Mormon coworker that told me it was evidence of a different sentient life form in the ancient past.
Fun fact: mummification was invented in Peru long before Egypt started — and the latter's civilization started long before the former
I love your enthusiasm in the beginning! Made that pumpkin look alive 🙂
