E is for Embalming: Everyone Rots, Eventually…?
Everyone rots eventually? Or do they?
In this episode we talk about body preservation techniques throughout history. Ancient cultures like the Egyptians and Arabians had unique body preservation techniques that mimicked human jerky and sickeningly sweet human rock candy. Leonardo da Vinci even performed embalmings on cadavers in pursuit of perfecting his art. And good ole Abraham Lincoln might have been responsible for the rise of the Industrial Death Complex during the Civil War.
