Maybe SteveMRE would take a wack, I’ve seen him eat 82 year old beef and he’s still uploading. If anyone can do it, he can.

It’s bacteria. They could probably go on a prophylactic antibiotics course and be fine. I’d be more concerned with how the favor changed due to the waste products over the years.
I’m no cheesologist but I bet it tastes like garbage in its current form. I’d also bet they could analyze it and come up with a similar recipe they could try.
Antibiotics wouldn’t protect from any toxic byproducts of bacterial decomposition. For example, recooking imroperly canned goods can kill the botulinum bacteria, but leaves deadly amounts of the botulinum toxin. There’s lots of reasons to not mess around with consuming questionable substances.
Let’s see if he thinks it’s doable first, then we can discuss the next best step from there 😁.
Has Ashens retired from eating expired food?
Uhh, the point of archeology is wearing cool outfits and escaping devious mechanical traps, obviously.
You can eat the mummies tho
I prefer making them into paint.
Mummy Brown? Huh, wonder where they got that name from.
Can probably just cut the rotten part off the top and the rest should be fine…
you link a picture of the tweet, but not the article?
what disease is it…
Skin chips! There’s still mummia for all your cannibalistic cravings.

Insane that this lead to and crossed the age of colonialism right? Super bright people, the lot of us.
The usage of mumiya as medicine began with the famous Persian mumiya black pissasphalt remedy for wounds and fractures, which was confused with similarly appearing black bituminous materials used in Egyptian mummification. This was misinterpreted by Medieval Latin translators to mean whole mummies. Starting in the 12th century and continuing until as far as the 19th century, mummies and bitumen from mummies would be central in European medicine and art, as well as Egyptian trade.
After Egypt banned the shipment of mummia in the 16th century, unscrupulous European apothecaries began to sell fraudulent mummia prepared by embalming and desiccating fresh corpses.

Dr. Phibes learned the tools of the trade from one of these apothecaries.
That made me want to watch the movie again. I checked YouTube and, lo and behold:

Every so often, the internet doesn’t suck.
Cool - I’m also watching again and I’m sure I’ll get goosebumps again, when he tells Dr. Vesalius “I am already dead”.
Wonderful
Honestly the French would probably still have a go at it.
All right, who here has the cheese touch?
You can do anything once.
You might die, but you can do it once.
The real pharaoh’s curse is the cheese we find along the way
Pfff brucellosis is only a life long chronic disease, not acutely deadly. I’ll take the risk
Tosh just had an astronaut on his podcast. He said they grew romaine lettuce in space, but NASA told them not to eat them because NASA wanted to test them for microbials.
The astronauts ate the lettuce anyway. I’m thinking someone might have took the chance and tried ancient cheese or honey. I know I would have, but I might have been dead too.
Eh if someone is willing to risk their life to eat it then they should be allowed to go for it
