When most people think of mummies, they imagine the ancient Egyptians. However, these 111 mummies were buried in Guanajuato, Mexico.

While most were not embalmed like Egyptian mummies, the climate in Mexico preserved these corpses by way of “natural mummification.” But why did these people die in the first place?

Around 1833, there was a mass cholera outbreak in Guanajuato. Rather than wait to find out who was sick and who was healthy, many people were simply buried alive.

How do we know they were buried alive? By the shocked and disturbing expressions on their faces.

The climate of Guanajuato preserved the mummies so well, in fact, that fine details like nails and wrinkles can still be seen.

Sadly, the disease affected both old and young. This particular mummy is one of the smallest babies that was found.

It’s incredible that much of their clothing has been preserved, as well.

The mummies were removed from their graves beginning in the 1870s, when a new tax forced family members to pay to keep their loved ones interred. Many could simply not afford it.

By the 1990s, the unique corpses were attracting tourists. Today, all 111 are housed at The Museum of the Mummies in Guanajuato.

This PSA Matter-Of-Factly Tells You What To Do With Your Dead After A Nuclear Attack

Now that there are a few decades between us and the Cold War, people forget that Americans once lived in constant fear of nuclear attack. Public service announcements (PSAs) were shown on televisions all over the country to address this concern, and some of them did so more dryly than others.

One particularly morbid PSA that was shown throughout the ’70s and ’80s taught people how to dispose of their loved ones’ bodies after nuclear attacks, and to keep the terrible vibes going, they enlisted the help of a creepily calm narrator.

It’s probably a good rule of thumb to keep dead bodies away from your living family members, but I guess that would’ve been difficult, since people would’ve been huddled in cramped shelters during nuclear attacks at that point.

Here's Aya for Caroline.

I decided as my present to my followers I'd make a list of my favorite blogs. I don't even know if there are any criteria besides the obvious "I like the shit you post" but yeah, these people are cool and have cool blogs. ENJOY xoxo
