Full Of It #212 - The Mummification of Alan Billis (Patreon)

In 2009, British taxi driver Alan Billis was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Soon after, he read a newspaper advert seeking body donors to be mummified, Ancient-Egypt style - and he jumped at the chance to be immortalised. 

When he passed away a year later, forensic archaeologist Stephen Buckley mummified Alan using techniques based on 19 years of research of 18th-dynasty Egyptian mummification. The process was documented in the film Mummifying Alan: Egypt's Last Secret and if you can find it to watch it's an absolute must if you find mummies or death even remotely interesting.
