- BelleOfTheBall 6y agoOh man, that's a blast from the past. The theme song alone is such a time capsule, you can just tell this is a 90s show. Reminds of this one sitcom that's basically an Alf rip-off except it's a mummy instead of an alien. Strangely enough, couldn't find it but did discover what seems to be an identical show made in the US and a German/French cartoon about a Mummy becoming a nanny for two kids. Mummies were a hot property back in the 90s/early 00s, huh?
- petjuh 6y agoHow much jewelry is that in Tutankhamuns? Is it like half a Tutankhamun, or less?
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoIt'd be hard to be more than 0.01 Tutankhamuns. That dude had rooms full of crap. E.g. https://kingtutone.com/tutankhamun/information/ https://kingtutone.com/tutankhamun/information/
- dntbnmpls 6y agoAh, the OG hoarder. But one man's crap is another man's treasure. I suspect you could retire comfortably if you had a portion of that dude's "crap".
- Bayart 6y agoAnd that's considering the tomb had been partially looted during Antiquity and that he was a nobody. I wonder what's the maximum share of the worldwide gold reserves that's been kept in Egyptian tombs at the same time.

- digi59404 6y agoI find things like this interesting. There’s real depth here. That girl was the daughter of someone. Despite cultural differences and generational gaps, there was human chemistry and emotion there. Someone cared deeply about her to ensure she was preserved. Most likely to go into the next world as with Egyptian customs. But they went further than that. They stored her favorite animals, and her sandals, likely to ensure she wasn’t alone. But there’s a level of depth and caring that goes into that. Also a level of torment. There’s something uniquely human in that. Something that to me I find touching. I can’t quite place it. For me for a long time, I looked at mummies and Egyptian history from a bit of a removed view. In that I knew they were human, but I didn’t really realize they were /human/ like me. If that makes sense?
