The British had those a century ago. They just shoveled Egyptian mummies into steam locomotives. At least according to Mark Twain.

Mummies used to be used for a lot of shit, including kindling and medicines. I may be misremembering from my many, many "Hey Kids! It's Ancient Egypt!" -type books, but some high-society types in England even held "unwrapping parties" where they'd just start sawing into a nice-lookin' mummy and dig around in it to see what they'd find. ("Wow, I got a lapis lazuli amulet!" "...I got a toe.")

People used to treat their history like shit, is what I'm saying.
