There are also swamp mummies that happened because the swamp may lack oxygen that is needed for proper decomposition. Those are not human-made, of course

Some are human made, sure it's just by dumping a corpse into a bog, but we have evidence of the Irish doing just that (though we don't know if it was to preserve them)

I'm donating my body for science and medical purposes, then they do the cremation for free. Help science, least burden on family.

First healthy organs to patients who need it.

The rest to science.

Anything left can be cremated.

and allow future archaeologists—if they were so inclined—to study what the human body was like back then. Archeologist studying bones in a long-unpowered freezer: "Serial killer. Definitely a serial killer."

And millinia later someone recovers some chronoradiography data proving it was a ritual suicide to achieve divine preservation through bulk paper roll storage in the tomb.

I’ve also looked into it but your body basically need to be donated within 24 hours after death. Makes it basically impossible to have a funeral. Like I don’t give a fuck, but my loved ones probably do.

Your family gets the cremated remains after they're done with it. I guess it might be like a week or so?

We're not big on ceremonies anyway, so delaying for a couple of weeks or holding a wake without any physical remains wouldn't be a big deal.

Yeah imagine a bunch of random kids cutting yiu open playing with your testicles trying to impress a girl in the class.... This happens. I know because my medical student friends from the dorm used to take about the weird stuff they did. There's also the ever growing "bodies" exhibition... And again my testicles inside out for people to be impressed... But maybe it will help something. It's not...

Lol I couldn't care less who fondled my dead body in class.

Also the Bodies exhibition is metal as hell. Ending up in there would be a win in my books.

I guess that's a pun, not a typo.

Oh, TIL, thought it's too random for use by humans

Good luck finding a freezer nowadays with that kind of build quality.

I feel like he's not really getting on with building that burial chamber though.

I don't get a choice, it's organ donation or science donation in Australia.

The second.

Social media is warping our perceptions in all kinds of way.

Do you have an idea how hard it is to gather all the resources and money for labor to build a pyramid to put the chamber in ? In this economy it must not be cheap.

Anyone could do it by just skipping on avocado toasts. People these days are too lazy.
