The premise
Here’s the bit.
A beaming embalmer guides viewers through the work of preserving a pharaoh, treating the removal of organs and a lengthy drying process as routine craft instructions. His bright tune and eager demonstrations make the messy business sound inviting, while jars, bandages and a waiting body turn the chamber into a macabre workshop. The lesson ends with the deceased prepared for a grand journey into the afterlife.
