Mummification was probably compatible with the best known "science" back then.

  Most likely the bleeding edge state of the art! Embalming practices of some cultures mystified modern science for quite a long time, iirc!

    If bleeding was an intended pun, nicely done. That said, my only comment to this train of thought is that at least the building in the video takes up less space & resources than a pyramid.

  You can't backdate "science" to the best approximate voodoo of the time to dunk on it. Science didn't really exist at the time.

  Was there any form of formalized scientific method at that point? I'm not sure it's fair to say that anything about mummification was science based unless you're using the term very colloquially to just mean "what people thought was right". Empirically, we're obviously way ahead of where humans were at the time of mummification, so I think it's a silly comparison anyways.
