Why is it okay to display ancient mummies and not other dead bodies?

Why do we keep those bodies in museums instead of letting them RIP?

You should check out Vegas.

Bring your weird, dead-body fetish somewhere else, freak.

Because they are mummies from like four thousand years ago.

Egypt doesn't like it any more than any other cultures do. They've been asking the British Museum to return their shite for decades.

Maybe its because the mummies are all dried out and not juicy anymore.

He's been on display for nearly 100 years

my mother dragged me to that thing when it came through Ft Worth, I couldn't have been older than 12. It was super disturbing to see as a child if I'm thinking about the right thing. All kinds of weird skeleton art and veins and tendons.

Not Catholic I take it? The earliest Christians celebrated Mass on the tombs of martyrs to avoid their Roman persecutors. They believed in the resurrection and venerated the remains of those that had passed. It’s continued until today in churches all where bodies are displayed for pilgrims to venerate and remind themselves they’re called to be saints. I visited the remains of blessed Carlos Acutis this summer. He died in 2006.

My husband and I took the oldest two to body worlds when they were little - they didn’t know what was going on and the husband and I found it interesting
