Even a dead Mahdi could not escape British revenge. Kitchener immediately ordered the Mahdis body hauled out and his tomb destroyed. The body of the Expected One was tossed into the Nile, minus its skull. Kitchener wanted to make it into an inkwell but was persuaded that it would be considered tasteless. So the general ordered the relic reburied. To this day the last remains of the Mahdi lie in an unmarked plot somewhere near Wadi Halfa.
