  1. Don’t be so insensitive *Gahhhh…* It’s a *”mummified person”* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  3. *gas mask kid approaches*

    “Are you my mummy?”

    “Nope!”

    “My mistake!”

    *episode ends*

  4. Fuck. Off. With. Your. Nonsense.

  5. Skeletons are to be known from now on as “defleshed individuals.” ^/s

  6. mummy is an extremely offensive term. we need to cancel all movies and books that used this problematic term.

  8. Not recognizing that mummies were once real live people (an issue mentioned in article) is ABSOLUTELY NOT a problem with the use of the word “mummy.” It is a problem stemming from an incredibly ignorant, un-educated population of morons who probably barely comprehend complete sentences.

  9. Ahh it was the Hancock up in Newcastle, everyone would have just referred to them as “mams”

  10. I get what they’re trying to do (increase the treatment and baseline level of respect for the corpses of deceased humans) but I’m not sure this is the way to do it lol

  11. Scholars are trying to humanize dead people and y’all just acting like stubborn babies

  14. I understand wanting to emphasize they were once living people but come on. They’ll always be mummies.
