I Want My Mummy!
1881 saw the discovery of many Egyptian tombs and mummies, but a specific mummy caught the attention of researchers in 1886. The “screaming mummy” or “Man E” as he was later named sent the hairs running up archaeologists’ necks. Examination told the team that this mummy was different. “Man E” had been bound so tightly around the ankles and wrists that marks still showed on his bones. Some historians believe that he was poisoned and buried alive. His coffin had no inscriptions at all. Creepy, if you ask me.
