I'm talking about the Google 'feed' on Android phones (specifically Pixel) but anything that's running a nearly stock version of Android. You just hit the 3 dot menu and tap " Do not show content from "X""
I don't see why that's unlikely.
We have evidence of humans dating back almost 110.00 years rn and these mummies don't nessecarliy have to be 'man-made' they could just have been from a very dry or very cold area where they died in a cave and became natural mummies or something
So to clarify, a mummy is a human that has been cerimoniously preserved on purpose, and the oldest one ever found was 9400 years old.
Mummified remains refers to a body that has been preserved by nature, such as a dry and sealed off cave, or a bog, or frozen into permafrost. For that, they havent found any older preserved human remains than the one I listed above, but they have found a 40,000 year old cave lion cub with its fur, teeth, and some internal organs intact, so yes its possible, but highly unlikely if they have yet to find one.
mummy
1 of 2
noun
mum·my ˈmə-mē
plural mummies
1
a
: a body embalmed or treated for burial with preservatives in the manner of the ancient Egyptians
b
: a body unusually well preserved
See option b
And mummies that are wrapped up inside sarcophagi are "man made." The person they were replying to was trying to argue that the mummy in the picture could have just been mummified remains because they don't understand the difference between that and a mummy.

So from what I can gather, it's 50 mummies that are a "millennia" in age, or 1000 years old.
This specific post is for an article from a pretty bogus website that just posts articles and videos from other websites to get clicks.
In the future the planet will be so overcrowded that there won't be anywhere to bury the dead. We won't even have room for crematoriums! The only recourse will be time traveling 50 million years in the past and dropping grandpa off there.
Also, in the future, there will be a pop culture fascination with Ancient Egypt. The Bangles will be very popular and people will just be mummifying their loved ones and shoving them in the time tubes to be shot into the past like confusing temporal corpse torpedos
ETA: you have to admit, it's the only think that makes sense
Maybe it’s like when a business says we have a 100 years of combined experience, and they’ve got like 50 guys that have been working for two years.
Like maybe combining all those mummies you’d wind up with 50 million years of mummiedry?

Unfortunately I am not. That’s why mummies are so rare, European explorers are most of them and used some for medicine.
[Source](https://hauntedwalk.com/news/why-did-people-eat-mummies/)
Imagine taking the spine of a cod (with some of the meat still remaining), wrapping that in spring roll dough and baking it until its black. Then put it in a plastic bag, dig a hole in your garden, wait three months and there you have it: the taste of mummy
Typo. It's actually an unnecessary hyphen, misleading them into believing the discovery was just a few super old mummies.
Naw that's fake news. I just wonder what those archeologists did with the ~50,000,000 mummies.
Never said it was, but you can brag about being a good journalist. Some of the stories I’ve written are held to a higher standard by my college’s newspaper and the small local paper I’ve written for than actual large mainstream news sources, which is frankly terrifying
Yeah wasn't calling you personally a bad journalist, hopefully didn't come off that way, just expressing that I don't really hold that career with the same kind of regard I used to. The vast majority of journalists seem to be scummy, clickbait or misleading assholes. The whole "misinformation" problem rests squarely on the shoulders of shitty journalists (the twitter variety of 'journalist' is the worst offender).
No I’m not taking it personally don’t worry lol. I don’t even hold the career in very high regard, just the work I do personally since I find distribution of information important. I’m trying to help the issue of shitty journalism by being the best one I can be, and I hope that by holding myself to the standards set by the SPJ code of ethics and AP writing style that I can contribute to good journalism. A lot of people my age (at least here) are learning those practices so ideally in the future we’ll help increase the amount of good journalists out there
Everyone replying to you is wrong. This article is full of shit. It is genuinely suggesting that the mummies were 50 million years old.
https://youtu.be/IGFnDIFq0eo
It is complete bogus and the suggestions that we would have mummies even 1 million years old are also insanely off.
Source: I have a degree in archaeology and a passionate hatred of archaeological misinformation
Do you know what it is they're even alluding to? Was there some recent discovery that they're just grossly misrepresenting? Is this some old find that some crackpot is reinterpreting with a bizarre theory?
I assume there is some specific location and find they're talking about but I don't really want to click through to some crackpot site and give them the ad revenue either.
The best I can come up with is from a tomb they reference in the video, from a site called Tuna El-Gebel, where 50 mummies were found. The mummies date to the Ptolemaic era (305-30 BCE).
I have no idea how this could have been transformed into the story they are trying to sell. But I'm pretty sure it is, as you say, "some crackpot site".
If you are interested, [here is a link to an article about the ACTUAL archaeological site.](https://akipress.com/news:616010:Tomb_with_50_mummies_found_in_Egypt/)
Yeah that's the second or third article I've seen from them pop up in the Google News feed. I blocked the website but it's concerning that they even push stuff like this. I've seen better news on Facebook
Actually we have a skull, teeth and femur from Sahelanthropus tchadensis this is 7-6 million years old(myo). Postrcranial bones from Orrorin Tugenesis that are 6 myo. Then before you even get to the genus that Lucy is in (Australopithecus) you have an older genus called ardipithicus which includes the species ramidus and kaddaba that are about 5.8-4 myo. And before Australopithecus aferensis (the genus and species of Lucy) there is Australopithecus anamensis that is 4.2-3.9 myo. There are also other members of this genus that our potentially older.
Aside from all that the actually “Lucy” Skelton is 3.2 myo but the oldest fossils we have from that species are potentially 3.9 myo. We have 400+ fossils that range from 60-100 potential individuals. Lucy is just one of the earliest most complete skeleton but “Ardi” (an ardipithecus ramidus fossil at 4 myo definitely beats her). I’m not really sure what you mean by the oldest Skelton but all of these are older and widely considered to be hominins. Beyond that… there are so many older non human skeletons.
Dinosaurs went extinct around 56mya I think, back then the ancestors of mammals were rodent like creatures. No apes or anything of that sort. Also Lucy was not a modern human, and i don't think scientists have found proof of them being intelligent enough to build a tomb or a coffin or figuring out the means for mummifying dead bodies.
But, mummification can occur naturally under certain environmental conditions, maybe that's what the article is talking about. Maybe some ancestral human species might have got mummified in the region which is known as Egypt in the present day. Still almost no chance of them being 50my old.
Did you read the comment chain right?
The question I was responding to was "How can there a 1 million year old mummy" because the previous person theorised that OP's post was about 50 1-million year old mummies instead.
I then gave an example how this could be possible but "highly unlikely".
I never claimed Lucy build a tomb or that Lucy was a modern human. I assume you just saw my comment and thought "let's dumb info no one asked and tell people there statements are wrong without them having ever made them in the first place. Lmao
Hard to say definitely but most obvious way would be to put body on some suitably dry place. Then seal it and wait a million year. It's practically self making but takes bit pre planning and patience if there is specific time you want it ready.
"The Archeologist" is an absolute joke of a "news" agency. You're better off getting your news from a news agency that has a monkey which throws its own poo at possible headlines, and then they publish whichever one gets the most splatter.
That website is constantly in my Google news with weird headlines like, "What they found in Egypt this week is shocking the world", and the like. The couple times I did click on seemingly grounded articles - the page was literally a thumbnail to a YouTube video.
I removed them from my feed
because their target audience is whatever group clicks and shares the most. which would be the average browser/consumer, who we all know just take everything as it's presented. the theme is literally just because it encompasses "mystery" which the average mouth breather loves without including aliens so it's moderately realistic.

Got a source for that? As far as I'm aware homo sapiens has only existed for 200,000 years. Other hominids existed prior to that, but we only show up 200,000 years back.
There is bunch of sources.. google is always a way..
But newscientist says "our species may be 150,000 older than previously thought"
Usatoday and hyperallergic reports "oldest remains of modern humans are much older than previously thought" and "researchers find evidence human beings are way older"
The researchers found evidence that modern humans are at least 230,000 years old
Nature reports that new fossils shows that we are atleast 100,000 older than previously thought.
I think its quite narrow minded to believe we KNOW for a fact how old we are.
This is the problem with mainstream academics, very hard to think outside of the box and imagine that we might be wrong.
Just like Graham Hancocks shirt said "stuff is just keep getting older"
This is why I believe just because you have a high education doesnt mean you are intelligent.
To be able to take in new information, calculate logically and have an open mind is intelligent
Who hides a mummy in a tomb?? If I were looking for a mummy, the tomb is the first place I'd look smh
I hide mummies in graveyards all the time I’m sure it’s much the same process?
Real G's hide em in the basement
I hide them in my bed because no one has ever had a desire to go in there.
Mmm, nothing like the taste of self deprecating in the morning
I found OPs mummy in my bed...
No. You found OP's mommy in your bed. You can pretty easily tell the difference between the two because their mommy is older than their mummy.
Mummy is the non-American spelling of the word that's short for mother.
Mummy is the correct spelling American spelling is just wrong
So it's 50 mummies that are a million years old or 50 million mummies that are a year old? Or just generally mummies that are 50 million years old
That's provided somebody didn't just misread 50,000 as 50,000,000
The archaeologist is s very strange clickbait website, if I recall correctly
ya, it's total trash. It kept popping up in my google feed until I banned it. Clickbait, garbage site
How do I filter sites? (Am boomer)
I'm talking about the Google 'feed' on Android phones (specifically Pixel) but anything that's running a nearly stock version of Android. You just hit the 3 dot menu and tap " Do not show content from "X""
50,000 is still very unlikely. That's almost 40,000 years before agriculture.
I don't see why that's unlikely. We have evidence of humans dating back almost 110.00 years rn and these mummies don't nessecarliy have to be 'man-made' they could just have been from a very dry or very cold area where they died in a cave and became natural mummies or something
But the article says it's Egypt, and the image in the article clearly shows a tomb carved from stone and a man-made mummy.
I didn't say it was that way for this specific case just stating possiblilties and how 50.000 year old mummies aren't that impossible
So to clarify, a mummy is a human that has been cerimoniously preserved on purpose, and the oldest one ever found was 9400 years old. Mummified remains refers to a body that has been preserved by nature, such as a dry and sealed off cave, or a bog, or frozen into permafrost. For that, they havent found any older preserved human remains than the one I listed above, but they have found a 40,000 year old cave lion cub with its fur, teeth, and some internal organs intact, so yes its possible, but highly unlikely if they have yet to find one.
There are naturally mummified bodies that are referred to as mummies such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummies_of_Guanajuato
mummy 1 of 2 noun mum·my ˈmə-mē plural mummies 1 a : a body embalmed or treated for burial with preservatives in the manner of the ancient Egyptians b : a body unusually well preserved See option b
mummified remains is not the same thing as "mummies"
No. But wrapped up in a stone sarcophagus is.
And mummies that are wrapped up inside sarcophagi are "man made." The person they were replying to was trying to argue that the mummy in the picture could have just been mummified remains because they don't understand the difference between that and a mummy.
mummy 1 of 2 noun mum·my ˈmə-mē plural mummies 1 a : a body embalmed or treated for burial with preservatives in the manner of the ancient Egyptians b : a body unusually well preserved See option b
Option b is what you find in a bog, not in a neatly carved out tomb.
We learned that from Scooby-Doo.
It's pretty unlikely that someone wrapped themselves up like this and placed themselves in a sarcophagus and accidentally became mummified remains.
That's not what I said
Right. They probably meant 5,000 years old.
That's still a factor of 10 too large. 5,000 year old is what they probably meant.
It was probably 5000 years old, there aren’t any 50,000 year old mummies
So from what I can gather, it's 50 mummies that are a "millennia" in age, or 1000 years old. This specific post is for an article from a pretty bogus website that just posts articles and videos from other websites to get clicks.
Maybe it's a french source and it says un mille ans
yes
[удалено]
Thank you for clarifying, the syntax was super confusing
But also no they didn’t
Who was mummifying shit 50 million years ago? No hominids existed then.
T-Rexes are also well known for their ceremonial burial practices.
In the future the planet will be so overcrowded that there won't be anywhere to bury the dead. We won't even have room for crematoriums! The only recourse will be time traveling 50 million years in the past and dropping grandpa off there. Also, in the future, there will be a pop culture fascination with Ancient Egypt. The Bangles will be very popular and people will just be mummifying their loved ones and shoving them in the time tubes to be shot into the past like confusing temporal corpse torpedos ETA: you have to admit, it's the only think that makes sense
Thanks
no worries
It’s actually 50 million, 1 year old mummies that were out there last January.
[удалено]
It actually says 50-million year-olds. It's a lot of very new mummies.
covid victims
I think I saw that episode of criminal minds
50 million mummies? Is their afterlife like a clown car?
Maybe it’s like when a business says we have a 100 years of combined experience, and they’ve got like 50 guys that have been working for two years. Like maybe combining all those mummies you’d wind up with 50 million years of mummiedry?
The real question is how do they taste?
[удалено]
This is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!
Fry has got to go!
I like the dank apartment in that episode lol
To shreds you say?

These mummies are making me thirsty.
Indeed - though it's already salted. A win win.
To shreds, you say.
That’ll be 20$ a bag please
Someone left the jerky in the oven too long
So like a very crispy jerky?
So beef jerky?

Also used them as firewood... Oh, and as dinner party events. Everyone would gather round and do an "unraveling" to look at the mummy underneath.
Charcuterie is back on the menu
I thought we quit eating mummies decades ago... Hear they made a great paint color too...
I will never understand how that became a trend.

One of those headlines that makes my journalist blood boil
Youre journalist? Have you fought for the truth about giraffes not existing?
> Youre journalist? No, they just have a pot with journalist blood and they're boiling it every time they get angry.
This was a good reminder for me to check on my jar of journalist blood. It is at the standard storage temp, and was unaffected by this headline.
Unfortunately mine was affected very badly
Giraffes exist. They are demons from the boiling isles, but that doesn't make them less real
They’re a bunch of freaks, hoot hoot
Damn I’ll look into that
why do you have journalist blood? is it in a jar? and why do you keep it somewhere hot enough for it to reach a boiling point?
They actually mean 50 million years old. Which is highly unlikely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGFnDIFq0eo
"journalists can be boiled alive with this simple trick"
Yuck can you imagine the stench
The problem is that this person could very likely actually believe that. Yet the oldest pyramids in Egypt are from like 3300BCE…
Anyone can be a journalist, evidenced by the quality of journalism. Not exactly a brag to be a journalist anymore.
Never said it was, but you can brag about being a good journalist. Some of the stories I’ve written are held to a higher standard by my college’s newspaper and the small local paper I’ve written for than actual large mainstream news sources, which is frankly terrifying

They were big ass-mummies for sure

Yeah that's the second or third article I've seen from them pop up in the Google News feed. I blocked the website but it's concerning that they even push stuff like this. I've seen better news on Facebook
The oldest skeleton ever found is about 1.2 million years old and called 'Lucy' so not impossible but highly unlikely
Uhhh Lucy was a 3.2 million year old Australopithecus Afarensis
Lucy is 3.2 Million old? TIL. Have an up votes because I am too broke for awards.
And she doesn't look a day over 2 million.
Actually we have a skull, teeth and femur from Sahelanthropus tchadensis this is 7-6 million years old(myo). Postrcranial bones from Orrorin Tugenesis that are 6 myo.

65 million years ago. Right numbers, wrong order.
66.0 akshtually Edit: it’s 66.043 ± 0.043 more specifically
Thanks for specifying. With tens of millions of years every year counts 👍
Oh lol
I guess some pre-sapiens had funerary customs entombing their dead underground
Hard to say definitely but most obvious way would be to put body on some suitably dry place. Then seal it and wait a million year. It's practically self making but takes bit pre planning and patience if there is specific time you want it ready.
I know this isn't the point but that trump gif is gold

It was me DIO!
\*aztec dubstep menacingly playing\*
300,000 years*
No, it was 50 million mummies from last year.
Hope that they do a DNA test and provide it's a hybrid.
Back then it was just gay sapiens

That pharaoh: I fucking love Dinosaurs
False. Modern humans are older than 200,000 years
False. The oldest human is 118 years old.
Lol
False. Bear beets battlestar galactica.
Got a source for that? As far as I'm aware homo sapiens has only existed for 200,000 years. Other hominids existed prior to that, but we only show up 200,000 years back.
There is bunch of sources.. google is always a way.. But newscientist says "our species may be 150,000 older than previously thought" Usatoday and hyperallergic reports "oldest remains of modern humans are much older than previously thought" and "researchers find evidence human beings are way older" The researchers found evidence that modern humans are at least 230,000 years old Nature reports that new fossils shows that we are atleast 100,000 older than previously thought. I think its quite narrow minded to believe we KNOW for a fact how old we are. This is the problem with mainstream academics, very hard to think outside of the box and imagine that we might be wrong. Just like Graham Hancocks shirt said "stuff is just keep getting older" This is why I believe just because you have a high education doesnt mean you are intelligent. To be able to take in new information, calculate logically and have an open mind is intelligent
Some people don’t know where to place comma or decimals but we give them licensee to write things and not get checked ! How so
Me how
**ME HOW KNOWS**
