- More about Mummified: The Stories Behind Egyptian Mummies in Museums
Mummified explores the unsettling stories behind Egyptian mummies held in British and French museums, revealing grave-robbing, theft, and black-market deals. It questions whether they should be treated as objects or given the same respect as other human bodies.
Format: Hardback
Length: 288 pages
Publication date: 07 June 2022
Publisher: Manchester University Press
Mummified explores the curious, unsettling and controversial cases of mummies held in French and British museums. From powdered mummies eaten as medicine to mummies unrolled in public, dissected for race studies and DNA-tested in modern laboratories, there is a lot more to these ancient remains than first meets the eye.
This book takes you on a journey from Paris to London, Leicester and Manchester, from the apothecaries of the Middle Ages to the dissecting tables of the eighteenth century, and finally behind the screen of today’s computers, to revisit the stories of these bodies that have fascinated Europeans for so long.
Mummified investigates matters of life and death, of collecting and viewing, and of interactions – sometimes violent and sometimes emotional – that question the essence of what makes us human.
