    In the Egypt exhibit there are probably no human mummy's because in the middle ages and up to the 1800s people would grind up mummy's to use as medicine or to make a type of paint that I think was called mummy brown.

    Def one of my fav places in this city. That’s actually not too many folks, it gets a lot worse of free museum days and during events.

Botanical gardens were good tho ^^

      We imported mummies by the boatload to turn into fertiliser, mainly mummified cat’s and other things but it’s still a very ghoulish past. Mummies were a prescribed medicine at one time in Europe we used to grind them up. History is a very strange place to visit.

I feel that the slaves have families and the beer was been used as a tool, that's what I think.
