Default Ancient Egypt closer to us than you'd think
Lady Gaga knows how she wants to be buried now.

I keep seeing them refer to this as "Ancient Egypt's Lady Gaga"

Really, science/history journalism blows ass. People should be ashamed of themselves. This 1,100 year old thing is in every media.

Strangely enough it doesn't seem like Egypt saw any need for "rappers".

I haven't seen any news articles referring to this as a "Lady Gaga" but I did find this one that said that it's actually a 3000-year-old mummy:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16576265
Your googling blows:

http://news.discovery.com/history/to...ry-120116.html

Headline:
3,000-YEAR OLD EGYPTIAN 'LADY GAGA' TOMB FOUND Swiss archaeologists have discovered the tomb of a female singer -- who may have been the "Lady Gaga" of her time -- dating back almost 3,000 years in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.

Not familiar with "Discovery News" but it seems to be the website of the same people who brought us "Shark Week".

False. Wrappers were essential to ancient Egypt. How else could they make so many mummies?

It would be interesting to see if ancient Egyptians really did have the Egyptian toes or if they were a more polyglot society.
