The barcode on the fake-passport comes from the original blog article posted on the website heritagedaily.com. it’s written underneath
This heritagedaily is a blog dedicated to paleontology and archeology that CLEARLY STATES THE FAKE PASSPORT IMAGE WAS CREATED TO ILLUSTRATE THE BLOG ARTICLE
The creator of the heritagedaily website confirmed to the fact-checking website linked above that he created it in 2018 and then republished it in 2020
Other versions are online, one more minimalistic, another in Arabic. All are false.
The mummy was received in France in a big show, with honors becoming of a sovereign. No mention of passport in any interview or article from that time.
The person in charge of documentary studies at the Egyptian antiquities Department of the Louvre Elisabeth David states that there is no fundament for the existence of a passport.
There is NO FRENCH LEGISLATION ACCORDING TO DECEASED HUMAN PEOPLE REQUIRE PASSPORTS
Mummies aren’t even considered as “people” in case of a transport they are considered as “goods”.
Elisabeth David cites a report from the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle (National Natural History Museum) issued in 1985 as possible reason for this confusion:
[Translation by me: “Obviously, for such a grand figure to leave Egypt, obtaining a "pass”(port) required reaching out to the highest authorities of both countries, after reaching a mutual agreement, after long and tedious negotiations.“]
Okay so obviously I’m not a professional translator so I’m not exactly sure how it reads in English, but in french it’s pretty clear that the person writing just uses the term "passport” as a metaphor for the long and tedious procedures required to get the mummy out of the country, just as for issuing a passport. She uses it so the sentence reads as “obtaining an okay [to pass through]”.
(Anyone who’s ever had to deal with the french administration will have similar feelings on such a matter.)
TLDR: THE WHOLE IMAGE WAS CREATED TO ILLUSTRATE A BLOG ARTICLE. THERE IS NO SUCH FRENCH LEGISLATION
Mostly English-speaking websites relay either the default faulty assertion, or the version according to which only the photo is fake but there was a passport, probably because they don’t have to the original 1985 report that mentions this “passport” nor access to this fact-checking article that provides the full context. (The latter part of the sentence is a hypothesis by ME)

our new job launched its mandatory ai transcription program designed to streamline our workflow and not only does it melt down the moment it has to transcribe non-white customers but it keeps hallucinating the existence of a mysterious boy named dorian who shows up in every third call summary
caller got into a car accident on their way to work? their nonexistant son dorian was hurt. got kicked out of a bar and broke their ankle? their son dorian was the one who broke it. i now spend more time having to de-dorian the call summary than if i had just written it myself. really funny. we’re required to use this now
imagining having a couple of these in a small enclosure of glass and theres a small crossroads set inside and theyre all sliding around going “ouch!” *glunk* *whoosh* *tada* and they only eat small plastic cheeseburger-shaped pellets
they live for about 2 years each like rats and u need to own at least 4 or theyll get lonely as theyre social
Actually they live to around 6 if taken care of properly. Stimulation is also a key factor! It’s recommended you switch up their enclosure on occasion so they can have better stimulation. Also, make sure to give them enriched diet too; whilst chezburger does make up a large part, they also enjoy things like pizza and chavez tacos (They’re easy to find at your local pet store in the robloxian section.) Just a little change goes a long way! Just make sure to monitor them when they have the little rocket launcher or bomb gears.

with all the news recently i’m thinking of closing this blog because. uh.what the fuck i am a child that’s still figuring out the political state of the world i made this blog because of one funny joke thread i did not ask for this 😭
irl pakistan and india sort out your shit so i can make funny memes on this place again oh my goddddd.
On a serious note, i do wish that you wouldn’t, bc you are loads of fun to rp with. That being said, this is all very complicated and long-standing issue and the burden of two governments beefing shouldn’t fall on two kids (except maybe making jokes about it). However, you should do what feels best for you.
Also pls stay safe both of you. With communal tensions and stuff it’s kinda risky to get political. Esp cause of internet activity monitoring… I just wish the peace treaty thing will work itself out somehow idk. It’s not the citizens’ fault that the government is…less than ideal.
for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!
don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!
Remember, when you’re on the jury, a good “that cop’s story didn’t add up” will sway a lot more Chads and Karens than “fuck the police.”
there’s a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like
this post is about a lot of things. it’s about my ex saying it was manipulative to talk to them in a cute voice because that influenced their emotions. it’s also about someone on this webbed site saying being funny is “engagement farming”. like yeah every single conversation you have is going to be “manipulative” if your standard for that is “did something with the goal of eliciting a response”. if that bothers you go live in a hut in the forest and speak only to the trees. I’ll be over here manipulating my friends into being happy by giving them compliments

Oh my god Wisconsin’s governor just used a line item veto to secure school funding increases every year through 2425. He struck out a line so it now reads “through the 2023-2425 school year”. He’s allowed to do this lol
Coastal Dems: now we can’t go too far now haha, we can’t. We’ve got to be reasonable, you know, also eight of us might defect to the Republicans if you’re mean to us
i put this pjackk poem into elevenai and something went very wrong. i’ve never heard it freak out like this, it sounds like the narrator is being forced to read @pjackk posts while undergoing an icepick lobotomy, which is also what i think hell will be like.

Sorry I’m late, I got added to the Wild Hunt last night and ran and reveled with them for what felt like 100 years plus a day until I landed the killing blow on a stag with bronze antlers then suddenly woke in my bed, willow leaves in my hair, a nameless song echoing in my ears, and my hands still bloody, so yeah, totally missed my alarm and stuff.
So yesterday my grandparents found a big box of old 78s that they’ve had in an attic for years, and wanted me to transfer them to CDs. Most were in pretty great shape, no cracks and few scratches. Lots of 1930s sweet/hot jazz, British big band & swing and a few Decca classical ones. This one had its label peeled/scratched off on the a side, on the reverse was a Parlophone march.
90% sure by playing it it’s unleashed some kind of 70 year old curse.
Oh my god D:
here’s a bad idea: listening to this in the dark by yourself
I heard that some records made during the 30s had laughter on them because they believed that listening to laughter would make others laugh along.
this ancient and forgotten horror, an abomination scratching at the walls of time itself, forbidden by the laws of gods and men, unearthed and resurrected from the archive of my blog in late 2013: “hold. my. fucking. beer.”
Why the fuck did they think people would enjoy listening to this even back then
Just *listening* to this feels like being sport-hunted by the aristocracy
1930s equivalent of surreal memes???
A couple people in the comments recognized this as “The OKeh Laughing Record,” and wow it’s been a while since I was reminded this strongly that society’s sense of humor changes over time.
According to my 15 minutes of research:
It sold around a million copies.
It was released in 1923, and reached #8 on the Billboard charts.
It prompted other record companies to come up with cover versions and other laughing specialties.
“How they were ultimately used—as party background noise or for cheering up its listeners—is, of course, open to speculation.”
This record helped inspire sitcom soundtracks.
At the time, it wasn’t meant to sound like a cackling witch and a horror-house muahaha. It was two people laughing at an inept cornet player (not a trumpet after all).
Little did they know that a century later it would come across as incredibly creepy nonsense.

Slavs: Have free healthcare Also slavs: I’m not seeing the doctor unless dying, there are sick people there
I em Slavic, and this is 90% true
however, you got one thing wrong
Only snobs, hipsters, and fratboys drink foreign brands
Nonono this is a good cola. It’s the party cola. This is the cola you drink and enjoy. Coca cola is the cola you have stored in your home for months in case someone gets sick, that’s its only use. The scientific explanation (the scientist is my mother) is that american Coca Cola has more evil chemicals, therefore it vibe checks the evil out of your stomach.
the day people stop thinking all trans men are skinny white twinks with 0 body hair and flat chests/top surgery is the day we will be free I swear to God
even the trans men I met who had medical surgery/hormones or bind had body hair, or were fat, were black n brown, disabled, etc
i get tired seeing transmasc positivity art and it’s just the same fucking body type over n over again. like sorry some of us have huge boobs (we may like them) or shaped in a way that unfortunately isn’t Twinkish or uwu anime boy.
