What would you do if a mummy came back to life in front of you?

You are the last visitor at a small Museum of Egyptology. You walk around the room. Since it is so small, the only guard is the Person selling Tickets at the entrance. Suddenly you hear glass shatter. You turn around and one oft the mummies climb out of the sarcophagus. He seems disoriented and asks you, what place this is and why he isn't in his tomb.

What do you do?

Ask them how they learned to speak English.

lath@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 201d (3 replies)

That's an easy one. They did a stint at a British museum for a century or so.

But they don’t have a tongue. So how do they speak English?

Deestan@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 201d

You can communicate with an English person by making noises through a stiff upper lip.

Also a good idea. Maybe he woke up before and learned the language.

Waldelfe@feddit.org · 6 pts · 201d

I assumed some kind oft translation spell to be in place so he would instantly understand the language of the place he resurrects in.

Damn I love that movie. Glad at least one other person has seen it.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 201d

One thing’s for sure is I’d make sure the horses were on my side of the river.

Since my reaction when someone robbed me at gunpoint was to ask them if it was a real gun, I would probably ask the mummy how they learned English and go from there.

If they just seem confused and not hostile then we are gonna have a long conversation until the guard comes to boot me out when it closes.

There was one time I was sleeping and my ex's dog woke me up barking. It really startled me, like I was actually terrified, and without thinking, literally tackled the dog. Always thought I was a runner, but might end up attacking the mummy.

I'd look around to see if Rachel Weisz is anywhere close.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 201d

Reevaluate my worldview and look for an employee. I'd have no idea what they're saying as I speak neither coptic nor greek

Pirtatogna@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 201d

Soil myself.

Get a ride home and schedule an appointment with the shrink.

Hope heat throb Brendon Fraser is nearby.

First I would be taken aback, I didn't know my mummy was dead, and then taken aback again that she came back to life.

andrewta@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 201d

Well played

devolution@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 200d

The mummy would be tired of me. I would want to sit down and talk to them mummy, ask it all about life during it's era, hygiene, technology, religion, sex, etc. I would want to know how it died, who it's family were.

So many questions.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 200d

Ask if he wants to smoke a joint.

Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org · 3 pts · 201d

I wake up from the nightmare.

AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 201d

Wonder why I'm being pranked and where the cameras are.

Ancient Egyptians had no conception of English.

DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 201d

"Mummy mia"

Then #Luigi its ass

rockandsock@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 200d

Knock it down, stomp it, then pee on it.

If you don't fully desecrate the corpse it'll just keep coming back to life.

Eternal192@anarchist.nexus · 2 pts · 201d

Well i don't how it would behave other than what i saw in the Mummy movies so if it's Billy Zane you'll get sucked to death and if it's a female mummy you'll get sucked off to death so either way it'll suck so i'd prefer the female mummy and try bang it before being sucked off to death.

Head home and contact my therapist for a emergency meeting

Gumbyyy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 200d

Run away. And ideally try to lock it into a room on my way out.

Toes@ani.social · 2 pts · 201d

As long as he didn't make any startling movements towards me, I'd help him out. It would be so cool to have a mummy friend. Perhaps tell him about how far civilization has come.

FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 201d

Get a nosebleed from all the dust

foodandart@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 201d
