The ancient Egyptians used to bury real-life mummies with figurines called ushabti to serve as laborers for the dead in the afterlife. That thoughtful spirit inspired us to create something more like this little guy, who will faithfully do his part to make your upcoming costume party extra-spooky. But while the ushabti were sacred objects of great spiritual significance, this 12 Mummy Prop is just for fun. If that makes it sound like a bad deal, you obviously haven't heard about George Herbert, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon.Listen, we don't want to judge anybody for their hobbies or occupations. We don't pretend to be experts on ancient religions. All we're saying is that you can avoid a lot of controversy and unnecessary expense if you're willing to spend a few bucks on this little prop instead of taking the real thing from some poor pharaoh's final resting place or the British Museum. Please make the right choice. We'll all sleep a lot better tonight.
