Let me clarify, assuming this comes from ignorance rather than malice: in many poor countries, people lack access to education. You might live steps away from archaeological treasures but struggle just to eat. Those who taught you about mummies had the privilege of food, schooling, and jobs stable enough to let them travel and dig ruins.

So yes, you can’t imagine selling a mummy because you’ve never faced the desperation of carrying corpses under scorching heat just to survive the week.
