Human mummy confection. This is a medicinal substance created by soaking human cadavers in honey. This is a gruesome process to mummify people to later consume as a form of medicine. This is believed to have originated in ancient Arabia and later made its way to China in the 16th century. Honey was used for many things for it was packed with energy and was used as a cure-all. Honey is high in sugar causing it to suck water from bacteria so essentially drying the microbes to death. Typically Older men would donate themselves to the mellification process this happens while still alive. First, they would switch to a honey-only diet, they would then be sealed in a stone coffin filled with honey for a century. Then they were ready to purchase. After about a century they would have turned it into confection used to heal wounds and broken bones.
Alexander the Great was reportedly submerged in honey, he wanted to keep himself presentable for public display. Honey itself affects around 60 types of bacteria such as fungi and viruses. There is evidence of honey being used in burial rites. Modern embalming consists of replacing all the body's natural fluids and replacing them with a preservative liquid. They used different methods such as stitches to close jaws and spiked eye caps to keep the eyelids shut. In Europe, they practiced different methods, such as removing the internal organs and immersing the body in alcohol.
What do you think about this would you want to experience this?
Would you try some of this confection for healing?
What will you do with your body afterlife?

Interesting topic but it is not US History replated. I would alos like to see your personal thoughts within your summary as well. Posted a day late.
If I researched this topic even more, and knew some people that tryed it, I might try mellification. I think it would be cool if it killed any germs or sickness I had. I haven't really thought about what to do with my body after life, I will probably have a funeral and a burial like everyone else.
The process to make that medicine is quite strange and I definitely wouldn't like to experience it. I don't think I dare try that candy because I would know that I would be eating a person and that is even stranger. I don't know what I would do with my body in the afterlife.
I agree it would be weird like eating a random human. I also think that I'd have to be super sick to eat this honey and it would take a lot of convincing. I am not sure what I will do with my body I still have time to figure that out.
I think that while this is a very interesting topic, it is extremely odd. I would not want to experience this confection because it just doesn't sound good. Even though, I feel like it could work, I still wouldn't participate. I'm not sure what I will do with my body after my life is over.
I think that this is very interesting, but it is also very strange. I would not want to experience this because it just sounds so creepy. I feel like it would work to some degree, but I would definitely not want to try it. I would want to be buried or cremated when I die.
I would not want to exoerience that or anything related to it, I find it weird and unsettling. I would not try this just because it's not something that sounds appealing to me. When I die I want to have a normal burial or I want to be cremated.
I think I wouldn't do that, I don't know, I think that afterlife I would like my body to be buried in the same cemetery where most of my relatives are buried, or if not, maybe I would like to be cremated and have some member of the family have my ashes. I have only thought about this once and I still haven't decided, I only know that I would like to be with my family.
I think that knowing how you want to die is a good thing so it can relieve your loved ones but also knowing where is so good. I agree I would want to be buried close to my family and I don't remove cremated from my list but I don't think I would want to be cremated.
I would not want to experience this. This seems like a kind of torture, having to go into a honey only diet until it killed you. I would not use this confection because I think it would be disturbing to know that what is healing you was once an old man that died because of honey. When I die I want to be buried.
