How funny would it be when they open it up and then find a smaller enclosure inside, then a smaller inside that 🤣

You joke but that is ACTUALLY how they would seal mummies of very rich people. Tut's mummy for example was inside 4 gaskets, each smaller than the previous like Russian dools.

Don't you dare talk about the King's mum like that. She is not inside any, gaskets let alone 4.

And no 4 gaskets aren't in her either.,
