Human Remains In Ancient Jar A Mystery

Yes, why would a human remain in an ancient jar?

This sort of thing tended to happen to people who knew too much about Hillary even back then.

Maybe it will turn out that those ancient Egyptians, reasonably forseeing the future, were just 'playing with your head' all along. :)

Subsidized housing?

When is a jar not a jar?

Simple, when it's adored.

heheheh.

Bought the jar, dumped it out, paid his/her embalmer to pack his/her remains into it.

Recycled canopic jars ping.

You know, I really hate it when they take your jar, dump out your guts, and put women's lip gloss in the jar.

Remind me not to be buried in a jar. It's the only way to stop these beasts.

I'm not surprised. IIRC, the mummy of Ramses II was found in a cache with many other royal mummies. The mummies seemed to have been moved in a hurry, probably as some emergency measure.

The priests who moved the jars may not even have known to whom the jars belonged. In any case, the pharoahs had all eternity to sort it out.

...while a second jar held the organs of an entirely different person who lived around 760 years later.
Tee-hee. :')
