There is always a bit of creepiness associated with mummies. That's one of the things that makes them so cool. Very interesting article. I really enjoyed it. Good find, Claire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the mummy so much as the reconstructed face of a person not seen for thousands of years. I kinda get now why my sister finds statues and "anything with a face" a little creepy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
