Did They Really Use Mummy Wrap for Butcher Paper? Yup!!
- In the mid-19th century, several incidents in England drew attention to the careless reuse of ancient materials. One widely reported case occurred around 1859, when a butcher purchased inexpensive wrapping paper from a local supplier. Unbeknownst to him, the “paper” was manufactured from linen strips taken from Egyptian mummies, which had been imported to Europe in large quantities during the 1800s for use in fertilizer, fuel, and even paper production. When the butcher used these wrappings to package meat and butter, customers who consumed the food became ill. Public outrage followed, and newspapers warned of the health dangers of recycling mummy linen into food-related products. The episode became a striking example of Victorian disregard for both hygiene and the preservation of antiquities.
