Mummies. They were all over Egypt, just lying around in the sand. The Brits came by and saw they were everwhere, asked why nobody took care of them, received some shrugs in response, took a couple, ground them up into dust and snorted that shit, for health purposes. It's well documented, somewhere on the internet.

You mean in their graves? Yes that’s where corpses go.

Nope. The graves were repurposed by the locals into houses for the living brick by brick, so the mummies were left out in the cold.
