"We need to drink the red liquid from the cursed dark sarcophagus in the form of some sort of carbonated energy drink so we can assume its powers and finally die"

... says a petition at change.org that has 16,000+ signatures, according to "Scientists identify mystery liquid in Egyptian sarcophagus/A POOL of murky, red liquid found around three mummies in an Egyptian sarcophagus has been analysed by scientists."
Horrifying images of a trio of skeletons floating in the murky soup led to rumours the “mummy juice” contained medicinal or supernatural properties, with locals anxious to bottle the stuff....

Authorities... revealed the liquid was neither “juice for mummies that contains an elixir of life” nor “red mercury” but something far more pedestrian — sewage water.
As if the "authorities" would tell us if it were the elixir of life. I say bottle "the murky soup" and let people buy it. And caveat emptor... or however you say that in Archaic Egyptian.

Dr Waziri said it was unlikely the remains found this week belonged to any notable members of the Ptolemaic dynasty (332BC-30BC) associated with Alexander the Great, or the subsequent Roman era.

Not that I doubt his doubt, but I wish he explained why he dismisses that possibility.

Paul કહ્યું...

Dunno about 'assuming powers' but you may very well die from it.

Lots of luck.

Bottle the murky soup and let Goop sell it.

New idea? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummia "This began a period of lucrative trade between Egypt and Europe, and suppliers substituted rare mummia exudate with entire mummies, either embalmed or desiccated. After Egypt banned the shipment of mummia in the 16th century, unscrupulous European apothecaries began to sell fraudulent mummia prepared by embalming and desiccating fresh corpses."
Lunch, anyone?

Gary Larson nails it again,

Whatever it was, it didn't do much good for the mummies.

These people have mummy issues.

Darrell કહ્યું...

Every Lefty at Change.org should consume a gallon of that liquid if they truly want to defeat Trump. It is truly the koolaid prophetized by Nostradamus.

Infinite Monkeys કહ્યું...

That sounds like an internet joke. There may be a few people who believe, but I bet most of them just think it's hilarious to sign the petition, especially when news organizations start reporting on people wanting to drink "mummy juice".

Etienne કહ્યું...

Any Okie could tell you by the smell, it was crap.

We are 100% able to sniff out crap. We don't have any crap-challenged people here.

Char Char Binks, Esq. કહ્યું...

Praise Kek and pass the mummy juice.

D 2 કહ્યું...

Then the coffin was open and red liquid appeared
That shit was strong, and I retched in fear.
The smart ones flew when the mummy came near, saying:
Come on baby (Don't be afraid)
Don't fear the juice. (And she ran to him)
Don't fear the juice. (And they started to drink...)
Don't fear the juice. (Baby I'm your mannnnn.)

And people wonder how Jim Jones pulled it off.

Unknown કહ્યું...

Murky Soup. LOL I throw all kinds of stuff in and take what i can get.

Towering Barbarian કહ્યું...

I can't help but feel that anyone who would drink red liquid from a coffin would probably have pallid skin, no reflection in any mirror, an aversion to garlic and a fear of the Cross as well! ^_~

I haven't studied Hieroglyphic Egyptian since 1987 but here goes:

And that's all I got. Way out of practice and don't have my copy of Gardiner of Faulkner with me right now. Where did you get this text?
