Day 1
Day 1
In Ancient Egypt, being a mummy wasn’t scary—it was goals. Egyptians believed in the afterlife, and they took “packing for the trip” very seriously. First, your organs got their own VIP jars (except your heart, which stayed for judgment). Then, you got wrapped tighter than a burrito in miles of linen. Finally, you were stuffed into a fancy coffin and buried with snacks, jewelry, and sometimes even a pet—because no one wants to be bored for eternity.
