I think I call BS on that one (it does sound good though) but did you know that Egyptian mummies were once used as fuel in steam locomotives? They are at one time a significant export of Egypt and the burial cloth was used to make paper that was used to wrap meat in butcher shops. That why butcher paper was light brown and continued to be light brown for years even after the practice of using mummy cloth was discontinued. I've often wondered how we kept from spreading some dire disease via this brown paper.
