Voice of the Mummy
Speaking of Tech_Space, this post noting the excavation of an undisturbed Egyptian tomb immediately got me thinking about things I always think about when reading about Egyptian tombs.
Partly lamenting the disturbance of the inhabitant's ka and hoping beyond hope that Osiris isn't real, because if he is we are so screwed.
Partly meditating on how Egyptian tombs functioned as mnemonic proto-hologram projectors (no kidding--if you've ever been in one that hasn't been stripped, you'll see what I mean).
And above all, recalling my favorite board game as a child, filled with sacred jewels, mysterious hieroglyphics, eerie spirits and vengeful gods: Voice of the Mummy!
