medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This story raised some interesting questions: Mummies seem the ideal "old
bones" to be passed off as ancient relics. How common was it for ancient
mummies to be sold as relics in Western Europe? Was there a lively trade
between Egypt and the West in mummy bones, to satisfy the market demand for
relics? Did anyone ever discover a similar thing for other relics?
