In the 19th century, the king of Persia sent a gift to Queen Victoria for her health. The gift in question was a package of mum, a substance with special powers to heal. Whether Victoria tested it, we don’t know, but there’s a chance she knew that mum was a ground-up powder made from human mummies. The idea had been around for a long time.
