Something to think about

It looks like the question of why the Egyptians mummified their dead is going to be similar to one about how the dinosaurs went extinct* in that everyone has their own theory. Today it was suggested that specifically, the mummies were wrapped up so much so that just in case they came to life, they wouldn't be able to walk. Which, you know, is something that we're all concerned about, what with the looming zombie apocalypse. Ancient Egyptians were very prepared for this eventuality.

*My personal favorite being "They ate too much candy and got really sick".
