    The scientists then reproduced the gut yeast in a fridge.

    So they didn’t actually destroy any part of the mummy, they just used bacteria sourced from the mummy that they multiplied anyways for further study.

      Yeast is a fungus, but otherwise right.

      It’s an interesting article. Also kind of horrifying.

      Yes, but isnt it pOssible that those batteries may have come from an extra-terrestrial source, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?
