Is this actually new information? I had a picture book about mummies as a kid that detailed all the weird ceremonial bullshit that was part of the process and how keeping the organs in jars instead of throwing them out was so the deceased could still use them in the afterlife because that was somehow part of the process of getting to heaven.

If kids are being taught that it’s all about preservation these days, that’s a damn shame. They’re missing out on all the cool stuff.
