  1. CW: Mummified Mustelid

    Why do I keep finding corpses around here.

    This guy has obviously been dead for some time, stuck inside the straw insulation of an old livestock shack I'm taking apart.

    Probably one of the local pine martens. Looks like it wasn't a peaceful death.

  2. Did you know that there is a #church in the #Netherlands that has #mysterious mummification power?

    The village of Wiuwert renovated its church in 1765. The workers found a 16th c. crypt with 11 bodies - all intact.

    Today there are 4 bodies left. 2 bodies died of illness, & 2 died naturally.

    Scientists do not know how they mummified exactly.

    But the process still works, as dead birds were hung unto the crypt ceiling in the 1930s & they too, have been #mummified.

  3. CW: NSFW, Bondage and nudity

    #ThrowbackThursday: proof I never make my subs go through anything #bdsm that I have not been through myself:

    watch me getting #mummified with duct tape and saran wrap back in the early 2000s 📺

  4. #onThisDay #8January #january #incas

    In November 2022 it was reported that "the mummified and perfectly preserved remains of an Inca child, found on January 8, 1985, by a group of mountaineers on Mount Aconcagua, will be returned to the mountain."

    I can't find out if this actually took place, though...

  5. It's #FridayThe13th
    Here’s a mummified cat found in the floorboards of an early 19th-century house in Britain. During this period, it was customary to hide dried or mummified cats within the walls of one's home to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck to the inhabitants.

  6. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 22 (delayed due to time with the family)

    Our first #fossil from north of the #Arctic Circle is from the most iconic of #IceAge #megafauna. This woolly #mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, was found over a century ago in the far #north of Siberia and gifted to Paris' #MuseumNationalD'HistoireNaturelle by the tsar. Like the squirrel featured yesterday, this mammoth was partially preserved in #permafrost; you can see its #mummified face and leg in the case at the right.

  7. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 21 (delayed by a busy travel day)

    As we move towards the far #North we encounter one of the (literally) coolest kinds of #fossilization. When the #frozen ground known as #permafrost forms, it can #freeze dry #animals buried in it. This ground #squirrel, Urocitellus undulatus from #Alaska 🇺🇸 and displayed in the #AmericanMuseumOfNaturalHistory, burrowed into the ground in life and was #mummified by it after death, providing a remarkable window into life in the #IceAge.

  8. "The mummified and perfectly preserved remains of an Inca child, found on January 8, 1985, by a group of mountaineers on Mount Aconcagua, will be returned to the mountain."
