Mummies Are Changing the Way Egyptians lived?

    The title literal says it all. People began to be so obsessed with death that they wanted their afterlife to be just as good as,if not better than, life on Earth! What's wrong with Earth? The people that we're so into death began to mummify themselves. Though most of the Egyptians thought it was to symbolize great holiness; I don't think they knew what they were doing most of the time. Just saying. You know those myths about mummies killing humans? Well that is semi-correct. Some mummies have chemicals in the wrapping around their bodies, so if humans touch it, it could make them swim with the fishies. Which sadly means to slowly die. Or some mummies I guess you can say they were cursed. John Wilkes Booth( Haha, funny name!)'s mummy seems to have brought horrible and tragic luck to every person that owned it; they went broke! Who would of known that mummies changed peoples lifestyles.?
