Victorians ate mummies.

Let me say it again: Victorians. Ate Mummies. For Medicine.

Many kept it around like aspirin.

Today, as we dig up a long-buried secret from our past, Jolts & Zing ask:

Which King not only took mummy ashes for his health, but patented his very own medicine including the substance?
Which canonical painter(s) used a special pigment - dubbed 'Mummy Brown' - mixed with actual mummified remains.
Why, god, why, did Europeans start grinding thousand-year-old mummies to eat, snort, mix as a plaster, for their health?

Lay back, relax your mind, and let's explore all your Mummy Issues. Let's Get Shocked!

Created, researched and performed by Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King.
