Someone prolly found it in a pothole on I 80. Maybe they can sell it and fix their roads?

Good find, op!

I wonder if this was some kind of stolen antiquity from Egypt and the owner got paranoid and ditched it. It looks just like a friggin Egyptian Mummy.

Btw you are correct, Indiana has the worst roads I have ever driven on. Guess low taxes come with a price.

That was my first thought, lots of mummies brought over for museums, collections and even carnival side shows in the early 1900s. Sure is in good shape from what can be seen.

From things that I've read in the past, North America is littered with Egyptian artifacts and hieroglyphs, etc. If I'm not mistaken, this wouldn't be the first mummy to be found in the U.S.

Although news is claiming it is Native American. Strange it's so similar to Egyptian Mummies, also consider this is Mound Builder Territory during this time who also built earthen pyramids. This is not BS folks.

Um..

Didn't Egyptians have boats with sails and oars, etc. back then?

Maybe some of them traveled around a bit, lol.

Looking for a new world, etc, etc.

It's the constant temperature fluctuations, mixed with salting and plowing in the winter. But yea, they are pretty shitty

saw the mummy story this morning.wtf.maybe the little egypt stories are true
it is the only route around the great lakes.the ground is unstable being where it is.they could pour concrete 50'thick and it would still move all over the place.every truck crossing the united states goes thru there.driven i-57 lately?the cornfields on either side would be smoother.

I had to take I65 all the way down the State to Kentucky last year. It felt like I was on a vibrating bed. For those who never drove in Indiana, we are not exaggerating about their roads.


Back on topic, hopefully they find some more mummies. Could prove the whole Little Egypt things.

And no this would not be the 1st mummy found in the US.

Seven foot tall mummy's with red or blonde hair have been found in Arizona to China and are 6000+ years old.

Look into it before the Smithsonian and their ilk wipe it from history completely.

not typical looking burial garb for this region,some of my ancestors were the original french that explored this area.the natives kind of accepted them as they weren't exactly farmers.that is near the kankakee river.my great garandpa told me there were 10 times as many red men as white men buried in the area.used to fish and look for arrowheads around there as a kid.gramps had jars full of arrowheads and all kinds of club and stone axheads.place still has a weird vibe to it.like your being watched
