The Mummification Process
The ancient Egyptians developed a sophisticated method to preserve a dead body for the afterlife: mummification. First, the internal organs were removed and all moisture from the body was eliminated. Next, the body was wrapped with long strips of linen, and then covered with a large linen cloth. Follow the steps of the mummification process in this short animation about the Getty Museum's Romano-Egyptian mummy Herakleides.

Obviously had too much time on their hands and no television. Mind you five Arch Bishops have just been found under Lambeth Palace dating back from the 17th century, been forgotten about apparently.

#6 Oh come on Thunders surly you didn't fancy the Mummy guy. I thought you had hit a new low with the fox but dead, bandaged, and covered in resin, that's got to be as low as you can go

#7 Oh yes, he is one good looking guy, too bad he was born about 4000 years too early though (that happened before)....no worries no need to go that low, half way would have been about right, would he still be around
