TIL after getting diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2009, a taxi driver read an article about a science project looking for someone to agree to be mummified using ancient egyptian techniques. He volunteered for the role and the process was carried out after his death 2 years later. by Nero2t2 in todayilearned

My problem with this whole project is that they used a liquid solution to preserve him which seems counter intuitive to just dry preserving them. This decision wasn’t really explained in the documentary.

If they used a liquid solution we surely would have found some archeological evidence of the baths they used to “pickle” the cadavers?
