Mummy Gathering Wrapped in History

As with the odd fact that someone would want a dead person's x-ray- (Notice last entry) It is equally strange that we would want to look at someone's dried, preserved corpse. But we are all guilty of harboring a strange fascination for mummies, I have to admit I could stand in line for this much the same way I stood in line to see the human body exhibit where people were disected and displayed in various gruesome ways. Maybe we're just there to gawk at the dead people and be thankful it's not us.
