@metrouk: Some museums have decided to remove the word ‘mummy’ from their exhibits because of its colonial implications. And thanks to popular culture, the term mummy also carries connotations of supernatural creatures or monsters. But museums want to encourage visitors' to see these corpses for the humans that they.

I would’ve assumed the museums would’ve called them mummified remains beforehand anyways?! sounds more scientific

I think this is a well needed change. We do indeed have a dehumanised idea when we hear Mummy, I welcome this change

I have been saying this for years. I also don’t understand why we need dead people on display like it’s a circus. It has great value for science so
