| The only female faculty member to represent on the Monster panel, where I discussed how smoking a body to make a mummy does not involve getting high. Interesting story on how we got there. |

Prior to reading this blog, I had relatively minimal interest in mummufication. I had no idea that human preservation took many forms. I've learned that in Pompeii, preservation occured through the inhalation of smoke, with lava then forming a sort of paster around the corpses of the populace below.
Wish I could have attended the discussion. Skimming through some articles online piques my interest. Thirty days of a corpse in a hut seems like a very labor-intensive process. Other elements involving the smoked mummies are fascinating to me. Personally, I would have a hard time consulting with or confising with an actual corpse.
Happy Halloween to you too Dr. Boston!
