It sort of brings a whole new meaning to that song "Walk Like an Egyptian", doesn't it? ;-)
And while I'm thinking of it, was there a prefered brand of beer for that Egyptian fumigation thing? Was there a "Buttweiser, the Pharaoh of Beers" or something?
And while I'm at it...
There once was a pharoah named Tut
Whose anus was swollen quite shut
The prescription was beer
But the physician didn't think it
Would help if he'd drink it
'Twas supposed to be boiled 'neath his butt.
I would not classify a culture without written language, at the very minimum, as "quite advanced." If they were quite advanced they would have figured out how to write and read. At minimum.
