Riddled with ancient curses and pagan rituals, ancient Egyptian culture is one of rich mysteries
and obsession with the concept of death.
The curse of the pharaohs is an alleged curse that is said to place a curse on whomever
dares to disturb the final resting place of an ancient Egyptian person.
Well Egyptian archaeologists found a huge black sarchophagus that dates back to 2 thousand
years ago, and of course, they opened it.
There was some speculation that the tomb could have contained the remains of alexander the
great, or at the very least, would unlock an ancient Egyptian curse.
What archaeologists found inside was definitely gruesome, as well as surprising.
Inside, were 3 skeletons and a whole lot of nasty reddy brown juice.
Yes, juice.
And guess what?
now the internet wants to drink it.
Are you really surprised?
Today, life’s biggest question asks, what if you drank the mummy juice?
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions.

channel for more great questions just like this one.
An ancient sarcophagus was found in an ancient burial chamber in Alexandria was opened in
Egypt on July 19th.
Inside it were 3 skeletons that are believed to belong to ancient egyptan soldiers or military
officials.
The skeletons were also lying in a pool of nasty red sewage water from pedestrians.
That’s right, sewage water that probably also contained bacteria from the decaying
bodies it surrounded.
The smell of this sewage water was apparently so horrendous that workers needed to get out
of the tomb and wait for the smell to air out for over an hour.
Despite this, Rumors have started to spread among locals about the potential magical properties
of the mummy juice, and they want to bottle up the juice, keep it and or sell it.
A change.org petition has been made addressed to the king of skeletons, is trying to gather
signatures to quote, taste the bone juice.
It states ‘ we need to drink the red liquid from the cursed dark sarchophaus in the form
of some sort of energy drink so we can assume its powers and finally die.
This petition has become a pretty big meme, its definitely not real, I hope.
Regardless, at the time of this recording, The petition has over 20 thousand signatures.
And yes I signed it, in case you’re wondering.
Lets imagine the hypothetical situation where drinking the mummy juice actually gave you
powers or held medicinal properties like the rumors seem to suggest.
First things first, someone would have to take the first sip.
Of course, scientists would test the juice on rats first, but eventually a human clinical
trial would have to take place.
It would be difficult to decide, but whomever it was, it would have to be someone willing
to die for the juice.
I would imagine this person would at first, feel very sick, but later on, the true nature
of the juice becomes apparent.
Scientists would have to conduct various tests on this person until they figured out exactly
what power the mummy juice gave them.
human strength, the power of foresight or everlasting life.
The test subject would likely be kept in a laboratory until the exact power they obtained
can be identified.
Then scientists make their announcement to the media, it would go something like this.
We have come across one of the most ground-breaking discoveries in the history of mankind.
Following the consumption of the mummy juice within an ancient sarcophagus, the test-subject
has received the power of everlasting life.
The media would have a field day.
Celebrities, billionares, politicians, heads of state, would all be pining for a sip of
the mummy juice, which would obviously go to the highest bidder.
Problem is, there is only so much mummy juice in the sarcophagus.
It would be bottled up in vials of various sizes and sold for outrageous prices.
Think a billion dollars for one vial, which for the super wealthy would be a small price
to pay to be able to live forever.
And here comes charlotte to burst everyoe’s bubble, we of course have to discuss the reality
of what would happen if you drank the mummy juice.
I know reality sucks, but here’s the deal.
That mummy juice contains bacteria and likely pathogens from the decaying dead bodies.
It could also have these microorganisms in it known as endospores that can live for thousands,
if not millions of years.
Truthfully, the mummy juice wouldn’t give you special powers, it would probably give
you a really nasty disease, or a one way ticket to the morgue.
Who knows, maybe drinking the juice would cause the spread of an ancient airborne plague
that would wipe out the entire world.
And now we return to our question, what if you drank the mummy juice.
I honestly don’t know but I don’t think anyone would be stupid enough to try to find
out.
