All I can say is, it’s too late for us, save yourselves.

Sometimes I get the impression that I am living as an egyptian extra in the new twisted version of the film “The Ten Commandments”.

@Ratel

Ha! :Weep:

Archaeologists unearthed 210 sarcophagi in an Egyptian city of the dead....

Don’t. Open. It.
Just. Don’t.

2020 is a full-on disaster already.
My guess is that 2021 has the potential to be a lot fkn worse.

These fuckers have sided with the disease and should be treated accordingly.

[Melizmatic]

Holy fucksocks; leave those fuckers sealed…

Meh. Ancient Egyptian undead Pharaohs would be an upgrade to our current leadership in the US.

Don’t. Open. It.

Uh, oh…(from the article)

this finding is “the largest number of coffins with one burial” discovered since a group of 30 coffins were unearthed at Al-Assasif cemetery in Luxor last year.

Saqqara is home to one of Egypt’s oldest pyramids: the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was built about 4,600 years ago.
The architect Imhotep built the pyramid
[emphasis mine]

I’ve seen The Mummy, and the sequels. Now I’m getting a bad feeling one of those coffins was already opened. It explains so much about this year!

Maybe crossing the streams is our only hope to get out of this coronavirus curse!

We built this city on Masks and 2 meters!”

@DukeTrout

Ancient Egyptian undead Pharaohs

I’m talking about the alleged curses unleashed when you open a hexed sarcophagus; it’s 2020, so why even take a (very unlikely) chance?

@DukeTrout

Masks and 2 meters

[DukeTrout]

Are we sure that isn’t already in play? I mean, that would explain a lot…

Don’t. Open. It.

Yeah…I’m in the “open” camp at this point. Humanity can make 2020 worse at any moment; I just don’t think the cursed undead have that much hate in them.

[DukeTrout]

I’m picturing a Scooby-Doo-esque animation, with a mummy popping up out of a sarcophagus with a dramatic “Arrrr!”, except everyone was already running around panicking, and don’t even notice the mummy.

@Ratel

I’m in the “open” camp

You sound like you’re the dude in the horror movie who says “I’ll be right back…”
