@annelisethearchaeologist: “The scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”—Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park 😂 I’m glad to see the folks working on and around Ötzi are still finding new and exciting things to do with our favorite Copper Age guy but I don’t think I’d try the mummy bread or the forthcoming mummy beer… #archaeology #History #ancienthistory #mummy #bread

user4835529589447 :

"Can we?" and "Should we?" are very different questions

stricklybooked :

This is too close to what the Victorians did with mummies and I am so very confused as to why anyone would do this…

F! I am the adult 💀 :

op...no King Tut or Paestum Shrine honey on poll for shame! mmmmMMMMMmmmm otzi bread with bog butter and king tut honey

arashi :

the tomb cheese, bog butter and mummy bread would be a good combo for an ancient grilled cheese, and it should be made at the fast food areas in pompeii to add more culture and history 😂

ScaredyKore 🍉🍉 (She/They) :

that's a weirdly cosy way to get cursed tbh

BigDave79 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 :

this unsettles me. it also reminds me of that woman a while ago (possibly on here) who made bread with yeast from her.... yeah.

marteana01 :

mummy bread, tomb cheese, bog butter, pyramid honey... if we find some ancient cold cuts we could almost make a charcuterie board😂

Satan’s gay slut :

We now have all the ingredients needed to make a grilled cheese

Jenni & the Bets :

Forever Hopeful and :

As a PhD chemist who knows a lot of microbiologists, I am so unsurprised 😂

Quailpower :

As a microbiologist and baker, I'm not even slightly surprised. All my colleagues are like this. 😂

Dan the Gnome :

I did my Ph.D. in yeast. I can confirm that anyone who works with ANY kind of yeast has tested to see if it can make bread and/or beer. Our protein-making S cerevisiae made cruddy sourdough and even worse beer. They were way too frail.

Chris is Outside :

they really ate with that one

CarbonatedDemonBaby :

We need to let Ötzi rest in yeast yall 😂

Jonathan Kage :

This is eerily similar to how The Last of Us began…

Bunny :

Is it technically a low level of cannibalism?

Mywell :

Bog butter, definitely

Amanda :

just because you can, doesn't mean you should

Natalie Boyd :

A new type of communion bread? Could they also make Ötzi beer? My brain is having thoughts while my body is stuck in ick.

_seeker0508 :

But who has ownership of the starter now? lol

cinnamon_toast_c.nt :

I get harvesting ancient yeast from beer or bread or whatever but why from a person? I know it’s probably the same yeast like on a molecular level or whatever but it’s just weird of them

CarrieG :

My spouse said this how zombies start

Niju :

When mankind holds the power to do anything, anything is what they will do

Dr. Literature Lady :

Another fine example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should.😳

FrankNugent :

maybe the honey found in Tut's tomb
